For one thing, I actually consider the ability to move point to
the middle of virtually /any/ text, including “fixed,” in Emacs
(it’s not just forms, – think of tmm-menubar, for instance, or
minibuffer prompts) to be a considerable /advantage./ And it
gets especially useful when, say, writing a guide, – copying
text from menus, forms, etc. is not nearly as easy in the
majority of the modern (non-tty) software.
(That being said, I believe it’s easier to point the reader to
M-x foo-do-something than to Menu Bar → Foo → Do Something,
so I’d say that menus are not as important to Emacs as they are
to some other software, anyway.)

I’m all for improvements to Emacs. In the case of ‘intangible’,
however, – I’m out of ideas.
