Yes. At least for two reasons:
1) great community from which you can learn a lot. Which will also give you a feedback if you post your ideas.
2) quick and easy way to see which of your ideas do not work.
Honestly, I was just like you. I could never understand those Mac users. Why the hell would they work with touchpad. It's ridiculous and can't even compare to mouse.
About a year ago I was forced to switch to Mac ( forced by work). And, trust me, it is a Big deal. This is one of the things I loved about Mac.
I have a "docking station" (not per se) with wireless keyboard, touchpad and mouse. And I find myself finding using touchpad much more often than mouse. Because it IS comfortable. Obviously, for some specific things that require precision mouse is much better. But for fast workflow, touchpad and its gestures are awesome. Similarly at home, I can use it anywhere without bringing mouse with me. And not struggling with terrible ( admittedly my cheap) pc touchpad.
