Intuitively, it feels good not moving the point around too much from Elisp. Because, moving point around emulates how a human would solve the problem interactively (i.e., with the keyboard) contrary to how a computer could just access the data exactly where it is without any detour. That said, I often move point around from Elisp (with `save-excursion') and I have yet to experience a real problem whose solution was not moving the point around. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
