I agree that it's good to try stuff out before making a judgement (it's
not hard after all), but I think Richard's spot on.

I _have_ tried iswitchb (many times actually), and it can be pretty
annoying and confusing, especially when there are tons of buffers.

I'm sure it does save some keystrokes, but there are other important
issues for a default command.  iswitchb is, as you say, a "power user"
tool.
