We need an interface to translate our thoughts into the computer, and the keyboard and the mouse are a necessary evil for now. But if you chose a career of software development, you should strive to minimize the friction that interface introduces. In my opinion, Vim/Emacs are the best way to make that interface as easy to operate as possible, since it completely removes the mouse from the equation. Along those same lines, I felt so much liberated after switching to i3, insomuch that I try to replicate the experience on MacOS, after switching over for work.
