This is your opinion. Speaking as a humble user, this is the UI feature in Emacs 28 that will have the greatest impact in my workflow. Furthermore, I would say that Emacs allowing you to invoke commands that have nothing to do with the current context and which likely outcome is to confuse the user or, worse, mess up things, is a serious QoI issue. We accepted this as a given, but it is a glaring deficiency nevertheless. > A feature which not > everybody wants (I certainly don't), and not everybody will use. Like every other feature in Emacs.
