Also, when it comes to programming, the biggest bottleneck for most people isn't typing -- it's thinking.
That's so true for me. I'm not pumping out code nonstop where the efficiency of keyboard vs mouse comes into play. Being more efficient with moving around a source file only matters if I actually knew what to do once I get to a particular spot of code and many times I don't. I struggle more often with the high-level design of a program than the details. And when the design is sorted out then everything else falls in place. That's when more efficient navigation may be more important to me.
Mice are better for spatial navigation, but keyboards are potentially much better for structural navigation - whether you're moving by search (regexp find, or whatever) or language elements (navigating via tag stack, etc).
