The keyboard may make things easier, I grant. Then the word is 'easier'. and 'faster'. I do use and like emacs BTW. Then again I have RSI, do you reckon that's easier/faster for me? > Another benefit is that keyboard input is higher-bandwith than mouse operations Depends on the job - a mouse is far higher bandwidth for graphics editing, and I know cos I've done that when mice weren't a standard thing. There's a simplicity of your argument here that misses an important point, use the right tool for the right job. NB. I use a trackball and IMO that is better than a mouse in all situations I can think of. I recommend them.
