(ii) Modal behavior has been in default Emacs for a long time now, e.g. C-s. I've read a few posts in which people say they find tmm works pretty seamlessly, which is the important thing. Tthis is my experience also.
And of course the mark.
I don't think head-counting is indicative, since what matters is the points people make. But, as far as I can tell, Dan, Stefan, myself, Drew, and Lennart have spoken in favor of making tmm the default; Mathias says he finds tmm OK; and yourself, Sascha, and David Kastrup are against making it the default. Those who haven't expressed a strong opinion either way include Eli, Juanma, Miles (who said he thinks tmm works pretty well) and Kim (who wrote CUA mode and presumably uses it). Please correct me if I misrepresented anyone.
My only little objection is that cua-selection-mode might have been a better choice to start with and then making that as close to tmm as possible without breaking cua of course.
Long time goal: make tmm an alias for cua-selection-mode. But starting this way you may perhaps reach making cua-selection an alias for tmm ;-)
And the real point is keeping cua compatibility where it is important + enhancements. Getting rid of unnecessary complexity.
