This is definitely a case of "you can't please all of the
people all of the time."  It's much like choosing your
favorite text editor - some people like optical mice,
others mechanical.  Even here at SGI, there are occasional
public debates about which is better.

As for myself, I have both an Indigo (mechanical mouse)
and a PI (optical mouse) on my desk.  I don't have much
of a preference for one over the other.  Actually, I
understand that one of the reasons for switching to the
mechanical mouse is that the optical mice had a high
failure rate.  I'm not sure "cutting corners on quality"
was a prime motivation...
