Did you try out Xterm Mouse mode for any prolonged period of time, performing non-trivial tasks? Anybody who uses Xterm Mouse mode _needs_ to know about the SHIFT functionality. That is, needs to have read either the xterm-mouse-mode docstring or `(emacs)XTerm Mouse'. Otherwise, the most basic mouse functionality, killing and yanking, does not work anymore (except _inside_ your Emacs session). Even knowing about SHIFT, it is a real nuisance. The lack of the usual visual feedback (Emacs can not track the mouse, even with Xterm Mouse mode enabled), can also be very confusing, except to knowledgeable users.
