I've come to use t more often than f. One example is when I want to change some string "like thiss". Placing the cursor on l and ct" is more confortable than c2e, and cfs won't work as expected. Since vim7, there are lots of new text-objects, so I'm probably using t less every day.

technically and logically you are correct, however the human has an objective mind and required f AND t, also don't forget F AND T to move backwards. this in the case where a space may occur or not occur before a ( or other punctuation. you know the punctuation but without t/T you have to carefully examine the character before. try to use it a few times a day, see if it works for you?
