For good typists, there is high overhead to getting your hands oriented on the keyboard (that's why the F and J keys have little bumps). So, any time you move your hand from the keyboard to the mouse, you pay a price. The worst thing is to constantly be alternating between mouse actions and keyboard actions. You spend all your time getting your fingers hands re-oriented. That's slow. This is why I never understood the attraction of something like xemacs, where you use the mouse to make text selections and run commands out of menus. It means you have to keep switching hand modes. I use emacs in non-window mode, which means my hands never leave the keyboard. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
