I find it handy when writing Lisp code, yes.

I think "emacs -Q" should turn off both global-eldoc-mode and
blink-cursor mode.  But that's a different issue, IMO, which is worth
a separate bug report.

The only way to decide how many people find it annoying is to wait for
more complaints.  For now, we have only one, and that's not enough to
decide to revert a feature.  Sorry, Bob.
