When the user doesn't like the result of an operation, be it a change of mind
or a mistake, the first logical reaction is to undo. Many users if not most are
unaware that undo in Emacs is restricted to an active region, and even if they
know, they are not likely to think of it before instinctively pressing the
well-learned undo key.
One reason is that no other editor works like this; another is that almost all
other operations that can be undone either deactivate the region or take place
wholly inside it, so there is no reason for the user to care about that quirk.
Moreover, users are often aware from experience with other software that the
time to undo an action is immediately afterwards, with no other potentially
inhibiting action in-between. Requiring a specific undo-enabling action is
therefore doubly hostile.
