I bounce between Visual Studio+Resharper, IntelliJ, and XCode (the worse of the three by far). Unless I'm having to manipulate UI element on a wysiwyg editor...I really don't touch the mouse in any of those IDEs. For the most part, I don't need it (even with the piece of crap XCode).

But each of those editors requires time to really learn, just like vi and emacs (formerly I was proficient in them too). Many people look at Visual Studio for example, see the Solution Explorer and just go "well, that must be the only way to open a file"...um, no.
