Funny, using the mouse in an IDE is for me not practical at all. Most of your 
time you are typing your code, and using the mouse makes you move your hand 
from the keyboard.
I find it way more easier to have shortcuts for all important things, and I can 
always navigate the menu with the keyboard for the rest.

And Qt Creator is the only IDE I know that lets me do everything with the 
keyboard (thank you locator).
It takes some time to learn the keyboard (easier with a reference card), but 
when it's done, you'll be more productive than using the mouse.

That's just my point of view.

Cheers,
Nicolas
