Analog. Intellimouse is still a pointing device. You're still apt to
mark lines you don't want and drop them in a place where you don't want. With
the keyboard and using the cursor for precise marking and placement it is
faster than grabbing the mouse, marking, screwing up, marking too many lines,
going back and then missing some text off the end of a sentence, finally
getting it, then moving it to another location only to drop it 1-2 spaces off
and end up in the middle of a word or in the wrong line and have to do it
all... again!

Yes. Needless bloat.
