The TrackPoint is not a "legacy oddity," it's a far superior input method compared to a trackpad, if you take the time to learn how to use it.

IMHO the proper way to use a pointing device is "sparingly", which suits the trackpoint _perfectly_.

Exactly. I hate trackpads, and would love to be able to buy a new thinkpad without one.
