It was a reason because I switched from MS-Word to StarOffice at the end of the last millennium. I use the mouse to select a formula element *only* when I can't remember its syntax.

If I can continue to write formulas using the command text interface *and* to have the cursor in the formula window synchronizing it's position with the command text interface cursor, there is no problem for me if you want use your MathType clone. In other words, if you want to code a MathType clone, you must keep entirely the current edit mode and add the possibility to switch from a mode to the other.
Formula editor is a very good compromise between keyboard only editor like Latex and mouse only editor like MathType. So, please, do not destroy that.
