Mouse support is poor in Emacs, this is the reason
why I don't use the mouse in Emacs. More below:

In other apps, the same is achieved by double-click
(`mouse-1') on a word, then double-click the same
(`mouse-1') on another word while holding down the Shift key.

In other apps, triple-click a line, then again triple-click
on another line while holding down the Shift key.
But what if you need first to select a line, then extend
the selection to a word? In other apps, triple-click a line,
then double-click `mouse-1' on a word while holding down the Shift key.
In Emacs, this is impossible.
Also in other apps Shift+F10 opens the context menu,
but why not in Emacs?

It would be easier to use this as: double-click a paren to select
a sexp, then double-click another paren to select another sexp
while holding down the Shift key.
