When you first starting Vim motions you’ll be putting thought into it, because it takes time to develop your muscle memory and learning where the motions are useful. But once you get going, it feels so much faster than using a mouse.

Just being able to use a keystroke to copy or replace text inside a set of parenthesis is so much faster than clicking and dragging your mouse cursor inside the set of parenthesis.

Not sure who is collecting the data on Vim motions being faster than mouse, but just from experience it feels way faster and more satisfying than using a mouse.
