I admit that I'm pretty mouse-adverse but I wouldn't have to use the mouse for any of that. Actually I mostly only use the mouse to browse the web. But anyway, that's not really important, I agree that good "intelligent" speech recognition would be very useful for uncommon tasks. But building a project, searching and replacing are tasks that are so common that I can't imagine having to reach for the mouse to do them, much less pronounce them out loud. And imagine the mess if you're coding in an open space and everybody chitchats with their computers...

If you can replace a long variable or function name more quickly than someone can say "rename aLongFunctionName to anotherLongFunctionName then build" then someone didn't implement the voice recognition properly. Yeah, someone always mentions the noise coding in a group. Someone else usually brings up subvocal speech, or something else, but I'll leave that for you to imagine. We need a few more people to imagine what is possible rather than rehash why something can't be done.
