Re: position on changing defaults?

[Richard Stallman]

    You can make an argument that this kind of thing is a "power user"
    feature that shouldn't be made default, but that decision shouldn't be
    made by a snap judgment based on a prima facie reading of a one-sentence
    description of its behaviour.

The recommendation is valid, but the accusation is wide of the mark,
since my message was not the final decision in any case.

I am trying iswitchb mode now, and I find that the displayed list of
buffers does not bother me.  But I find that I use it the same way I
used the ordinary minibuffer completion (and I get very surprised when
TAB enters the buffer name immediately instead of completing).  So far
I have never paid enough attention to my buffer switching to even
start to think about whether iswitchb might actually help.

I think the list of buffers in iswitchb will be confusing for
beginners, and I think it should not be enabled by default.
