Of course the best thing would be a UI usable with touch and mouse with
very little compromises, but that might not possible in many situations.
I think it's a mistake to make mouse interaction a second-class citizen
(like Windows 8). I *very* rarely use the touchscreen of my laptop for
instance (remember gorilla-arm effect?).
In the end the user should have the last word. GMail for instance has
many different display density/mode settings, including a "touch
enabled" one. I have it in the most compact mode (bad for touching) even
though my laptop has a touchscreen.
