I use avy in emacs. I think it's the same thing more or less. To your point, I think it's a balancing act. Does the precomputed sequence of actions take longer than the letter-processing interruption? If so, use avy. It's an additional tool, not a replacement. Every now and then it comes in really handy. For example, I occasionally work on files that have a lot of repetition. I find myself turning to avy more in this scenario. I also use Vimium in the browser. Link hints (the same thing as being discussed) are much superior to mouse selection.
I was referring to link hints in Vimium. You press “f” and all of the links on the page can be selected with the keyboard. It’s in the first 30 seconds of the video on this page https://vimium.github.io/ .
