Could you please be more specific? This is a bit too general to be
understandable.

If you for example mean that shift selection should go away then I
disagree. If you mean that we should work towards getting selection
working the same whenever possible then I agree.

Howevere moving towards the common denominator for different editing
environments is in my opinion most important. Repeating myself I once
again stress that this needs creativity to not destroy (and any kind
of negative remarks will diminish creativity and may make it
impossible to reach a good result).
