I agree with you, and I prefer that too, and from his post I think Marc
is in our camp. But most people don't care that much, as long as they
can tell the difference in their way, and most people don't want to
deviate too far from whatever happens by default. Trying to persuade
them otherwise often just makes one seem... well, too interested in
telling others how to work, to put it gently.
Although I'd love for everyone to work my way, telling them that they
should usually doesn't work out very well. This argument must be taken
up with developers, not users.
