| That's only a reason to educate them better, ...
That is not the correct way. I believe that if there is functionality
that is not appropriate for the 99 % of the users, it should be
changed - not matter what other "education" might then be.
But you missed the point. Emacs is a companion. It should be a good
one. Right now M-g is not a good companion. It could be much better
with goto-line.
| I suggest you try "emacsclient -n +5 path/to/file"
| ... With all this, I rarely if ever need to use M-x goto-line.
For you maybe. I believe the more user friendly Emacs is, the better
people get a hand on it. Why do you think there is vi(1) people
that never touched emacs? Or Windows users that use programmer's
file editor instead of Emacs?
Little things can make a difference sometimes. M-g could play a tiny
part towards it.
| For "average joe", we want to make them learn the better way.
Sure, they can add line to .emacs to map goto-line. Everybody
can. Millions of users can. But that's unproductive and unnecessary.
