Yes, a few people including me voted for this for years. That was one of
the reasons for me starting my ruby gschem clone one year ago. Maybe the
wedana html5 clone will support a new  user interface?

But for gschem: Some people seems to really love the current behaviour.

For me, I never loved the many tool changes, and I was never able to
remember all the key combinations. "er" is edit rotate, "ve" is view
extend. For the later I am not really sure -- have not used gschem for a
year.

But because some people love the current behaviour, our only chance may
be to add an additional alternative mode, which may be not really easy.
When we are allowed to make that dramatic changes at all?

Moving elements without have to select it first is really nice. And drag
select and zoom into window if started on a void area. And panning if we
move an element with middle mouse button. And of course starting nets
when hitting pin or net ends. All without having to change the tool.
That is fun for new users and part time users.
