That about says it all - the functionalty is in the menus. I use
keyboard short cuts a LOT. But I also use four of the five buttons on
my mouse and the scroll wheel all the time.

But let''s not argue about mouse clicks. Let's argue about the
keyboard gymnastics you have to perform if you use Emacs....
