I find error messages like "Beginning of buffer" (and the accompanying
beep) and informative messages like "Mark set" much more annoying.
What's worse: I see no practical way to turn these off which means
that I have to decide whether I want to use the mouse-wheel to scroll
an Emacs buffer or to switch off my loudspeakers. And obviously the
echo area and the *Messages* buffer get crowded with these completely
useless (for me) informations.
So while I agree with you that ‘global-eldoc-mode’ should never have
been enabled by default, I consider it a minor annoyance compared to
the ones I described above. At least you've found out how to turn it
off.
