Those old modal interfaces were dead ends that ultimately didn't scale. Try using a CAD program sometime, or for that matter even a spreadsheet, without a mouse.

You missed the "pixel by pixel navigation" part.

There are obviously a plethora of use cases (mostly graphic design software, games, etc) where a pointing device would benefit far much better.

OTOH I would love to see a vim-like excel/spreadsheet software.
