Oh big deal. Do it my way, like a true professional!
I totally agree, complete PITA.
It's a very handy command if you use it to set the mouse cursor in a desired local after an event, but almost all the time users prefer to control the mouse on their own.
I haven't found it to be too useful if used as a limiting function. Say you are trying to highlight text with a mouse function. You are better off writing a routine to handle the racing issues, like I did for Sam Clip and my WP routines, than to try to take control of the mouse by using _MOUSEMOVE to set the mouse cursor only after the line is highlighted.
