Well i definitely didn't want to say, that if I don't like spatial mode
than no one should. It's definitle cool to have more than one option. I was
more reffering to the decision about making it default. I really believe
that you work more efficiently with spatial mode. But at the same time i am
confident that overwhelming majority of users won't (call this a hunch).
   And thank you kindly for your response.
