Dunno what's so controversial. I've always wondered, on the contrary, why the
Dired X features are not loaded and made available by default.
No, I don't really want to argue about it. I've just always found Dired X useful
and, well, pretty ordinary. Controversy is not a word that would come to mind.
That's not to say you couldn't find something controversial in there. But hey,
even font-lock and transient-mark mode are controversial for some folks. One
person's benignant is another's malignant.
