You are correct. But remember there are other programmers that hate to use the mouse if there's a keystroke shortcut available. The QB64 IDE is very much keyboard oriented. Only the help system and the ASCII table require doing a lot with the mouse. It could be convenient, but not while trying to type in hundreds of lines of source code.
Another thing is somebody finding it hard to tell one icon from another, especially those for file save, file load and stuff like that. Or wants to know why there is build, make, run and thinks to himself/herself, "Gee whiz, why can't they just give me a big rounded run button?" Press [F5] in QBasic was the easiest thing to remember, before icons appeared on the same screen as menus, of what used to be a text-mode application.
We're both far removed from the masters of "Vim". They could call themselves "golfers" but I digress, the only great golfer I have ever seen was Ricky Fowler, and otherwise one of the Korean ladies that won LGPA a few years ago. Those guys don't want to see clickable icons anywhere near their Linux terminals.
