I've been thinking about buying this one myself. All the point and clicking won't bother me so much, since I expect it with a game like this. I can't see how you could possibly avoid it. A big part of the game involves terraforming, rearranging the topography, and directing your followers where to go and what to do, and I'm not sure how you would go about that with using a mouse. But I have read other comments on the Steam site mentioning the bug limiting your followers, so I'll hold off at least until that's fixed. Pretty sure I remember Molyneux saying to expect another update within a week of release, so hopefully the existing bugs will be squashed then.
