I learned to use a mouse on my C64 in GEOS Graphics Environment Operating System.

It was nice but not required.

We are now many, many decades further and my stance has not changed

The speed at which I can fly using the keyboard with CTRL keys is massive compared to the slow and cumbersome Mouse interface

I am using it primarily with modal editors. Now #Helix, used to be #Neovim. Works really well with both. Even though the layout is completely different, in modal editors I just reach for the right letter. The only exception are hjkl for movement, but I have arrow keys mapped on homerow in the same way. Not only I don't have trouble with my muscle memory in vim/hx but I also brought it to all other applications :D
