This is _very_ dependent on your style of editing. I've tried
xterm-mouse-mode on and off, and I find I prefer "off", largely for
the reasons stated in this thread [the default xterm "interapp
cut-n-paste" behavior is more useful; the xterm-mouse-mode behavior
generally quite clunky feeling, esp. the lack of region dragging].
I might feel differently If it were possible to have a sort of
"clicks-only" half-xterm-mouse-mode, or to fix the misfeatures of the
current "full" mouse-mode [e.g., get drag events for region dragging;
contact X server for cut-n-paste even in -nw mode] -- but neither
seems practical, because they would require changes in xterm (and a
fair amount of effort to implement for uncertain gain).
