Interesting.  I've used a mouse for pretty much everything for years.  Many moons ago, I used large digitizer tablets with applications like Intergraph, Intergraph Microstation, and AutoCAD.   Early-on, the tablets were more-or-less required for those applications.  But the day came when all of the menu functions were moved to the screen, and then tablets became superfluous.  So it's been 100% work with the mouse since then.  At least at my day job(s), and when I wasn't in the field.

I've never used a tablet with graphics apps.  But I'm planning to try it.

Thanks again to everyone who has responded.  You've all provided food for thought.
