I find this irritating too. Yet the recent responses indicate others like this behavior. This discussion is a great example of the either-or mentality adopted by many programmers. Somebody decides which method is preferred and the remaining people suffer.

The solution is obvious: provide both options and let the user decide.

Perhaps an enhancement request against this behavior should be filed?
