I think the situation is somewhat similar with the case of e-mail
headers in Rmail. Having used fascist e-mail clients before I was
scared that with Emacs you could indeed *change* the headers yourself
and maybe even break something. But with time I learned to appreciate
the extra power.
I myself don't move into the prompt that often, but I like to know
that I can if I need to, without having to hunt for some newly added
user option.
So, comfort and ease-of-use, yes; restriction and over-protection, no.
