Philip 2:    I�m aghast at discovering that there�s a cadre of FM users who will argue vociferously for the adequacy of the backward tool set of FM   

You are misinterpreting the arguments; I don't think there is a one of use would would not mind, for example, multiple undo (hereinafter MUD), an editable history palette, or whatever, but not at the expense of extra bulk. Like picking up weight as one ages, it's easy to put on the pounds but a bitch to take off. 

Further, there is a difference between "arguing for" something and "not arguing against" something. If I say "I don't care about MUD" that's not an argument FOR the present interface. 

Many expert users don't argue "please keep the interface and tool set as is," which presently doesn't include MUD ... we just don't care about MUD! There are other, more important battles to be fought than the battle for MUD. For me, it's color and decimal tabs.
