Well, I think that it is great that it is axes, not joints... How will You jog a puma robot straight up (not to break the tool that is in the material) in joint mode? Or how will You jog hexapod? You will need to jog all 6 joints simultaneously. And also You will need to pray to jog all the joints correctly not to break machine. As I have said before - IMHO after homing joint mode is _never_ needed for normal operation of machine. Especially non-trivial kinematics. When something is wrong and debugging is needed - yes, then there might be necessity for joint mode, but in normal operation I have not come up with an example, why would operator ever need it. There is no use in normal work for joint mode + non-trivial kinematics, but there are lots of risks and potential problems associated with this. For example, forget to switch to world mode after homing and try to jog a gantry machine...
