As a user, I find it a PITA for my 3D printers at least.

Axis does a decent job of trying to hide this from the user, but I
still get bitten quite often by "can't do that in this mode".  In my
case, I issue an MDI command to move to a location, then click over to
the manual tab so I can extrude a bit of filament and zero the A axis,
but if I click (just on the tab, not actually clicking to move any
motors) before the move completes the machine stops dead in it's
tracks and I get a "you can't do that" error.  :(

...so I run the MDI command again, wait patiently for it to complete,
and _THEN_ click on the tab to start jogging an axis.
