I've played this game before. It's great if you never change what you're doing. If you get a new project that requires a new IDE or VM solution you spend hours setting things up again. The mouse is more flexible and better suited to getting work done.

This seems relevant. https://xkcd.com/1205/

It's the other way around in my opinion. If you learn something like vim/i3/cli tools it's relevant for future projects.

If you invest time learning IntelliJ, they'll release an update and move everything around. Now you'll be searching frantically and clicking randomly until you find where things are.

Yes that's my point as you change tools you have to learn new keys.

It's fine if you can dictate your tools are only vim/i3/cli. I haven't had that luxury.
