I live in the terminal (and the browser), I use the command line, vim in the terminal. I don't like vimperator, but I do use the VimFX addon for simple jk control of scrolling. And I use the awesomewm tiling window manager.

Some people, when hearing or seeing that, assume that I don't like to use a mouse.

I love my mouse, and it's sitting right there on the couch cushion next to me. Some things, like cut/paste between tmux windows, or between terminal and browser, are just easier with a mouse.

I do try to minimize how much I have to use a mouse, but I use whatever my hand is closest to. Sometimes I scroll the browser with the keyboard, sometimes with the mouse.

I attach zero pride to my use or non-use of the mouse.
