It is all a matter of perspective.  I am *constantly* executing code  
by mistake
with shift-enter!  I agree with all the arguments for the current  
default, but
I am finding it extremely hard to swap these in my muscle memory (and  
am not
sure I want to since I use Maple a lot too, but hope to replace it  
with SymPy
at some point:-).

I am using notebook as a terminal replacement... I usually type a  
single line,
then want to execute it to see the result, then I edit it later adding  
more
lines, followed by another execute.  So I have pretty much an equal  
number
of enters and shift-enters.

Michael.
