Complication, yes.  Uneccessary, no.  More buttons mean more choices.  As
most of us regular readers know, many (marginally successful) systems have
been built around multi-button mice.  Some (like SmallTalk) are virtually
unusable with a one-button mouse.

I like to have several different applications running in different windows
(in different states).  Some of them have hierarchical command systems that
run 3-4 levels deep, with numerous shortcuts available.  Pull-down menus
are a simplification that actually slows me down.

Besides, with the mouse between my thumb and pinky, my other fingers might
atrophy without three buttons to keep them busy:-)
