Full disclosure: the last transport I owned was a 2001 Toyota Tacoma pickup. My current transport is the London Underground.
It's definitely less accurate, but I can do quite a bit while only lifting one finger off the keyboard, which is a big productivity boost, and the biggest argument for having it on your computer. Especially for shorter, simpler movements.
I will always reach for another tool (generally a trackball, if I'm at my desk) if I'm trying to do something more accurate or complex.
