Tablet is lot more then selection and cutout etc.. but for some very basic
tools like cloning, erasing, masking etc. when you get a hang of it then you
wouldn't wanna go without it.

*BUT* it will take quite sometime to get rid of the mouse (could be 2-3
months) then few months to master the toy. I have been using tablet for
nearly 2 decades or never use mouse for over a decade.
