The smart guy is the one who alternates based on the task and tools at hand.
Program language is another that fits this model.
'Bordering on bigotry' seems apt.

I just have to ask, why do so many people have such animosity towards the mouse? When I first learned to use a computer on XP and win2k my teacher at Community College would get perturbed that my mouse would be laying on the floor because I took to the keyboard alot easier. I can definitely get around windo$e without a mouse, and I don't load a mouse in DOS either. I'm usually in the CLI in 'nix also, as GUIs don't like me, and I don't like the resources they use up. But a mouse is just a tool to get a job done. If it works best for someone, so what? I have watched people move quite quickly and efficiently around a computer with the mouse. The mouse has been around alot longer than the PC, having been in use on mainframes since the mid '60s, so it's not a recent invention. If someone prefers to use a ratchet wrench and socket as opposed to a boxend wrench, so what? I don't see why one tool should be denigrated over another tool, if it gets the job done for someone. There are people who use a mouse quicker than I can use a keyboard. I have seen this 'anti mouse' thing on this list and elsewhere on the internet, but have never heard a real reason for it. Where does this come from? Why is one computer user considered less than another computer user, because of his tool of choice. This 'anti mouse' thing almost borders on bigotry. Why?
Just curious, Rob
