I like how view mode makes a buffer go away when you reach the end.
The main annoyance I have is it filling up my mode line with [[[]]]'s
when there doesn't seem much point for the recursive-edits.  In fact
I'm not really recursively _edit_ing anything.  Save the
recursive-edit stuff for really necessary situations, e.g., as now
when typing `C-r' in a query-replace.  (Does anybody really neatly
finish "view"ing each file without occasionally doing something else
before finishing viewing (thus mounting up [[[]]]'s)?) Version 18.57.
