I really don't see why anyone, including and especially programmers, use mice these days. That is, assuming you have a great (read: Mac) multi-touch pad. If you are in graphic design or animation/film, maybe a mouse is quite useful (I don't know, but watching others, it seems to have qualities useful to them in those fields). But once you master your hotkeys and multitouch pad, why lug a mouse around? I haven't used a mouse AT ALL in over 3 years, except when I'm forced to use a Windows machine. And I do mean "forced".
