Well, if you are interested, here is my opinion. I'm not a Emacs veteran
(used to use "modern-conventional" editors like those where you select
text with Shift pressed until about 1.5 years ago).
I never (literally never) use mouse for editing text, and so I don't quite
understand how to work without transient mark. When tmm is disabled, I
never see what part of text I'm working with and memorizing mark position
is extremely inconvenient. So, for me tmm is vital when I want to work
with arbitrary regions (M-d, C-k and the like are not always enough).
