I think you end up wasting time deciding what combinations of w, b, e, f, F, t, T, h, j, k, and l you need to type to get you to the right place. Then you feel really good and efficient because you hit "just a few keys" and got where you wanted. Meanwhile, I took 2 seconds to grab the mouse, click where I want to be, and return my hands to the home row.

That's not to say Vim's keyboard capabilities aren't useful--they are! Sometimes you just want to move a character over, sometimes you need to justify a paragraph (gqap, or |fmt). But I'll contend that in general, when you want to move to a point in the text, using the mouse pointer to point where you want is the easiest.

When I need a shopkeeper to grab something off the shelf (maybe my favorite dirty magazine, I don't know), I don't say "ok 3 rows down from the top, 7 columns in, no sorry one more column to the right, that's it". I point and say, "I want that one".
