Using the mouse has never been a convenient on any math editor - and believe me, I've seen a few of them. It reduces the productivity significantly, heck, I'd bet, I can type \phi at least three times faster than you opening a panel containing greek characters and clicking on a 'phi' button -- and I do not even have to look at the screen when doing so. Having said that, some math editors and some users act together best when using a mouse - but that group of user was never the main target audience of neither LaTeX nor LyX. Andre'
