Mouse or track pad? [View all]

I have a nice iMac for the office, and about two months ago, I decided to try out the trackpad. Together with lion, (and some art software) I find it a hell of a lot nicer than mice. Given that I quit using my laptop and replaced it with the iPad, it just seems far more useful and natural. And comfortable.

What sez you folks?(damn, cannot do a poll here)
