Maybe it's faster for you. For me, I can move to any line with Meta+G+G and the line number. That's faster than reaching for the mouse, aiming to the line, clicking, and returning to the keyboard to type, for me personally. There are other shortcuts like Ctrl+Direction to skip chunks of text. Ctrl+Left or Ctrl+Right skips words and symbols, Ctrl+Up and Ctrl+Down, in some of my language configurations, skips to the next starting point of a code block in the same branch. Movement is very straightforward with the keyboard, and depending on the editor, does not take long to get used to. If the mouse works for you, great. It did for me too, up to a point.
