I like this analogy of climbing the mountain to get to the clearing. You can take this principle a step further with tiling window managers (also using vim keybindings) which can reduce mouse usage even more. I work as a software developer and my current set up is neovim, tmux, the chrome extension you mentioned and aerospace (a tiling window manager for Mac), meaning the mouse is rarely needed!
