I have seen vim gurus I absolutely bet can beat your mousing around every single time when it comes to text operations. I'm not saying I can but I am usually not in that big of a hurry when I'm coding, however I am not bad with navigating vi/evil-mode either.

Can the best vim gurus beat an average mouse user? I am certain they can.

Can they beat the best mouse+keyboard gurus? I very much doubt that.

Note again that I'm only talking about navigation - when you're actively editing, you're obviously going to lose too much time moving your hand between mouse and keyboard.
