I've never understood people's obsession with vim. I used it for a few months, then timed myself doing the same tasks with vim and gedit. Gedit was faster by a significant margin.
Click-and-type is really quite fast once you try to master it. Double-click to select a token, triple-click to select a line, etc. On a laptop (or on a Kinesis Advantage (awesome ergonomic keyboard) with a center-mounted touchpad) the mouse isn't much of a context switch.
