I want to see how one does multiple "glob" expansions in a GUI.

Or stuff like
  find / -name .nfs\* -mtime +7 -exec rm -f {} \; -o -fstype nfs -prune

I can use Command-arrows to cycle through windows but I have to
take my hand off the keyboard to select a window.  Mice are great
for drawing pictures, but they just don't cut it for real work...
Most of what I do is text entry.  I'm *very* happy that Edit
(and Mail) support emacs-style keyboard commands.

In the latter half of the decade, mice will probably account for
more occupational injuries than keyboards.
Try using a "wrist rest" with a mouse sometime.
