I don't really care for the precision, but for me the Trackpoint is easier and faster to use than touchpads. I can keep my hands on the keyboard all the time and don't have to move them down, or take them off to grab a mouse lying several feet away from the home row. I just bump the track point and keep typing. Aiming takes a while to get used to, though, especially in Windows with its useless mouse acceleration settings. Those take far too much tweaking.
