Hmm. I guess work-wise it's a pretty close call. If you are working with the class you want to extend, you have to do one package-traverse to select the package you want the subclass in.
However, if you are not working with the superclass, you need to do two package-traversals, one to find the superclass, and a second to select the subclass location. I think that would be a bit longer than one package-traversal and typing "extends ". But not by much, I admit.
And I agree that you can't create a class entirely from the keyboard. I would, in fact, love to see a keystroke that opens the context on the selected node in any of the tree browsers. Then I really wouldn't need the mouse.
It's not a bad idea, I just wanted the Intellij guys to know that there are people who would not use it. So they can make an informed decision about how to spend their development time.
