There's no reason that an editor cannot include both mouse and key support. I use both: keystrokes for executing commands (I really don't care for pull-down menus, they are much too slow), and the mouse for marking areas of text (leaning on the cursor key, over-shooting, and backing up is too slow). The only thing that irks me is when an editor requires me to use the tool which is more cumbersome for the task at hand.
