That’s fair. I personally don’t mix typing and trackpad usage very much so that advantage is pretty minimal for me.

I think the advantage is bigger than you believe, and I would bet you mix typing/trackpad more than you believe also.

Could be, but I’m positive that I use gestures more than I mix typing/trackpad, so there’s that.

Overall I think you'd still be faster in keyboard, but gestures and such offer a lot in terms of simplicity which is a fair trade a lot of the time. If your workflow revolves around typing however, I would still put trackpoint above.
