I have a game controller and a mouse. I don't use my game controller to code. I don't use my keyboard to sculpt. The problem isn't that mice exist at all, its that they are overwhelmingly dominant to the point where most applications do not cater to anything else.
Now I see your original point in a new light. I just viewed it as a natural progression that the mouse would take over as the primary input because of it's useful and intuitiveness. So when you say you "hated" this, I interpreted as a hate for mice in general and the wishing for pre-mice days. Rather than just a move back towards the keyboard being the primary interface.
