When do you use the mouse?

Pieguy posted a similar topic at the NG a while back. I think the consensus that was eventually reached was that any mechanic in the game has the right to be exploited. Personally, I don't really think it adds a whole lot...

Not quite. There's LFS (as Miika pointed out), and also the random number generator which is exploitable. Of course, TW doesn't have LFS, and it uses a different random number generator. Then again, it doesn't fully support the mouse mechanics either. My main argument against using the mouse was that it's a mechanic that adds almost no value to the game, but can easily and safely be ignored. I usually use it as a last resort (one exception is on Water Trap: I use a single mouse move to permit imperfect boosting).
