>The only thing I use my mouse for is browsing the web.

I love vimium and vimperator. The only thing I use my mouse for is browsing pages with flash or embedded video. Some other browsing as well, but it's nice to be able to pop back and forth between term and browser, scroll the tutorial page down then pop back without a mouse.

It's been a while since I used vimperator/pentadactyl. I recall it not being compatible with newer versions of firefox, but from what I gather those issues seems to be resolved. I should take another look.

Most of my day is spent using OSX, and I am quite alright using a mouse in that environment for most things.

Yeah, I haven't really had any issues with it over the last year. I don't always browse with vimporator but it's nice to have the option to follow a link, go back a page or scroll up and down without a mouse. It really depends on the workflow I'm in.

Until my daughter was born, I wanted to do everything without a mouse and I worked hard on that. But then I started getting annoyed that I needed both hands to work the machine. Now I have both workflows down pretty well and with my WM I can do most things with either.
