I am also a vim user, but agree that in some cases it can be faster to select text with the cursor. However, you lose some time moving your hand between the keyboard and mouse, so I usually don't do it.
However, you can have both. Neovim is a drop-in replacement for vim that lets you use the mouse to select text, scroll, change windows or panes, resize splits and so on. Resizing splits is one of those things that I prefer to do with a cursor.
I think vim can do some of the same things (all?), but it requires some configuration.
