The fact that you need to type C-j instead of RET when creating a buffer
does not seem such a huge imposition, it if makes selecting buffers much
easier for everyone else (assuming we don't find a better solution).
Creating non-file backed buffers is not something that is that frequent
for most users, and frankly probably not so desirable for newbies
(There's so much trouble with the *scratch* buffer anyway...)
