Selecting text is also a good example where the mouse is faster. One of the few for me. Having to switch modes, move to a line, then move to a character, then repeat that, is quite cumbersome in comparison.

I'll take good keyboard controls for pretty much anything else though.

With Vim and Emacs, you have nice commands for getting to an exact position. And if you're replacing, you don't need selections. Selection is mostly for copying, cutting, and applying commands.
