You do not need a poll of many users. But you have to make proper
study. Editor and any software and computer usability may be measured
with few people only.

In my opinion here we talk about usability related to inserting a new
line. The fundamental useful command is inserting a new line or
`open-line'.

What you are here proposing is to replace key binding with something
else like C-o C-o -- but you forget the fundamental usefulness of it.

How about talking about the fundamental feauture of opening a new line
or inserting new empty line and improving that, if at all possible?

How do you do?

How other users do it?

Why would it be more usable for user to press C-o C-o to insert new
line rather than C-o ? That is better discussed rather than purpose of
removing or replacing key bindings for purpose of some other commands
on C-o -- I hope you understand difference between those purposes.
