I have it turned off and am quite happy with it: the help-echo message is
still present if I need it, but displayed in the echo area where it doesn't
bother me when I don't need it.

Ah, I didn't know about that (I always have my mouse pointer in the small
ediff frame because I use focus-follows-mouse), but the way you describe it,
it does seem to be of dubious value indeed. But that doesn't mean that
tooltips shouldn't also be improved so as to be less bothersome in
such cases.
