If you are familiar with Emacs, you will do not hesitate to click the mode line because you might know what happens next. You might be satisfied with quick operation. Further more, you might think GUI menu is a toy that make computer operation slow down. The tooltip says what the clicks do. If it says "Mouse-1: mode help", people won't be scared. Please put it on mouse-2 and update the tooltip string.
