The few times I've tried wdired, I frequently needed up in undesirable (tho temporarily desired) states, and hitting RET is something very natural that can happen by mistake, so I feel like it's a bit too dangerous. I agree it makes sense if you're only changing one file (which is what dired-efap.el is for), but wdired does more than that. Stefan
