It's not one of the other. You can definitely use a mouse _and_ vim. I wouldn't recommend easymotion to anyone, a mouse is just so much better suited to that sort of behaviour. But there's plenty of motions much better suited for vim bindings, such as change the text up to the next bracket with ct( or changing the contents of a string in ci" and just e and b instead of alt arrows. I think people can just get carried away with "my hands will never leave the keyboard" but it's fantastic having the best of both worlds with vscode + neovim extension
