I program with a Magic Trackpad 2. There's not too much I can't do with gestures vs a keyboard. It's much faster than using two hands. I also set it up for 3-finger drag and that's the killer app within the app. With that, moving windows around is dramatically faster than a mouse. I can select text with 3-finger drag and then two-finger tap for the context menu to see: definitions, copy/paste, delete etc..). Navigating my laptop is more enjoyable when I can use all five fingers for different things. Apple should take this feature out of the Accessibility menus and put it where it belongs with the trackpad prefs.

Can't your window manager let you move windows using a key + mouse? Much faster than a mouse imo, and I used to use a Magic Trackpad also.
