At that point, why not just use a joystick? I guess this would be faster; I assume you still move it around like a mouse you're just holding it like a joystick.
I wonder how good IntelliJ's support for joystick is.
Rotating your wrist upward just opens up your arm/shoulder/wrist into their correct positions.
Wrist-aiming/clicking is bad for you long term, just learn how to use your arm to move the mouse around on a lower sensitivity :)
What's bad for you is incorrect posture and resting your wrist on the desk or a pad while actively using your wrist. If you sit at the right distance and height, you shouldn't be bending your wrist up or down at all.

Hard for those of us who have different-than-expected-proportions. I have a custom built desk at home so it's not a problem, but my work desk is just too high. Even at its highest, my chair doesn't raise me up enough to allow me to sit ergonomically since I have a short torso. The vertical mouse helps make up for it, though.
I'm tall so most things are too short. If your work has an ergo specialist, however, you could possibly request a higher chair or lower desk. I've only had two jobs that were cool like that, tho.
