In terms of workflow, I disagree. There is nothing inherently efficient in constantly switching back and forth between the QWERTY and the mouse . And we're not talking about grunt work when it comes to repositioning the playback cursor. If i'm working with a phrase over a range of 3 or 4 bars, being able to move the PB cursor back and forth to audition that phrase, or chord is essential, for just one example.
And then there's the inevitable wear and tear on the hands and arms from constant mouse use. It's far more ergonomic to use the QWERTY, than do the "grunt work" of constantly using the mouse. How is that any different to pressing a key multiple times? And it's worse, when a comparison is made with the physical requirements of simply tapping keys, and the micro movement "triggering motion" require to operate a mouse.
