  ... so do they prefer a track ball or TrackPoint (or some sort of Minority Report gestures-based system)? /s

    No, they just use the keyboard. And use a mouse emulator (move pointer with the keyboard) on those instances where there's no kb shortcuts.

      Is that before or after they move on to using a needle and a steady hand?

      False, they use tput to move the cursor. http://www.bashguru.com/2010/04/how-to-handle-cursor-movement-in-shell.html http://www.bashguru.com/2010/04/how-to-handle-cursor-movemen...

  Perhaps it's simply personal preference, but I do find that limiting my mouse usage has resulted in real, tangible gains. I don't know how feasible that is in GUI-first operating systems like OS X, though.

    Check out Alfred 2, Shortcat, Slate (https://github.com/lunixbochs/reslate https://github.com/lunixbochs/reslate). You don't need the mouse as much as you might think.
