They do have eyeball-tracking pointing devices. Alas, they are $$$$, even for the el-cheapo ones. I've seen some as low as $1K, but most are in the $2-3K range. And they only control the mouse, so if you vim window doesn't have the cursor follow the mouse, it is of little help.
As for pie menus... one of the problems is that the menu really needs to pop up in the centre of the screen for maximal real-estate. For context menus, sure, but you wouldn't want a floating menu bar. And most people seem to think that if you cannot see an icon or menu item up-front that does X then it must imply that the product does not do X. Sad, but true.
I just memorize tons of keyboard shortcuts and refuse to "upgrade" my chosen products. And become insanely frustrated when Ctrl-W does not close a window in an MDI application. Or when Ctrl-F does not invoke the "find" dialog box in Outlook...
