I hate this! I knew trying to take my hands of the keyboard when there is a perfectly viable shortcut would be annoying. The fact is, the feeling is downright painful! Well, that may be an overstatement, but it is annoying. The problem becomes clear when it is time to return to the keyboard. There is an initial state of reorganization that just can't be avoided. I can try to feel my way back to the home row keys, but when the typing begins and everything is one off, it makes me wish I had never left my beloved home row.

With that said, in some instances there is little to no difference in productivity. Overall, I would say that unless I am working on something specific such as an email or code, using the mouse is alright. In some cases, I would argue, that it is just as fast or faster than using the keyboard. Of course, I can't make any conclusions just yet. I must suffer a bit longer before bring back my Emacs and enjoying the magic of M-x never-leave-the-keyboard-land.
