I've been trying (and failing) to get back into using Emacs for ten
years. However back when I did (before I learned and switched to vi)
I used to use graphical mode exclusively, for three reasons: better
colour support (I guess mostly addressed now); non-fixed width font
support; finally, some keyboard shortcut combinations I wanted to use
aren't supported in terminals (variations on alt/ctrl tab iirc)
Mouse and keyboard combined are a very rich UI, one does not need to
limit oneself to pointing and clicking on menus with a mouse to use
it effectively.
