On a mac at least, one can modify the action of the mouse in various ways. I
have mentioned the time based contextual menu that pops up next to the
arrow. There are also modifier keys, pressing command on the keyboard allows
scrolling by simply moving the mouse up and down (a hand appears as in
Illustrator for positioning the canvas...). And so on... It is a different
way of doing things using the features that already exist and are quite - er
um... - handy like the keyboard.
Oh there are still modifier keys...Shift+Left Btn + up/down mouse move
scales brushes ALT/CTRL+Left Btn temp swap additive or subtractive masks
Scroll wheel zooms in and out and do multiple things at once.... can be
quite efficient
Each to his own of course but it suits me because too much mouse work gives
me problems with my hands, wrists, tendons ... the less and simpler to do
with a mouse the better...

As an artist, spend a lot of time with a mouse, not had a problem with
my wrists and hands. I find small mice cramp the hand. Got a tablet but
I never really liked it, not a very good one so it is probably not fair
to to judge it with real tablets....

Take care,

None of this silly resting the wrist on a padded protuberance in front of the keyboard and reaching up to the keys, straining the tendons: you sit with hands ABOVE the keyboard, forearms parallel with the desk, fingers just touching the keys, and back strain and eye strain opportunities are reduced because you are looking ahead at the screen rather than bending the neck to look at the keyboard. ...
