I have always used C-x C-x for navigation purposes. Now that
transient-mark-mode is on by default, I find it an annoyance that the
region is activated as a side-effect of swapping mark and point.
Reactivating the region is not something I've ever found the need to do,
but if I did, I would consider the swapping mark and point to be an
annoying side effect, and would prefer a command that does not have that
side effect.
