> People should really give them a chance; unfortunately many are mislead by the Emacs and Vim's docs, but when they were written touchpads didn't even exist.
Emacs's docs are updated constantly, up to this day. And in there are mentioned both "touchpad" (5 hits) and "mouse" (660 hits).
I actually realized that the current Emacs docs have less old cruft than they used to (e.g. about the meta/alt thing).
I should have said docs, guides and articles anyhow (which were not written before the invention of touchpads but usually carry on the keyboard-exclusively myths).
