The advantage for me is that I don't keep deleting text that I don't
want to delete.  :-)

In addition, I don't have to stomp on `C-g' for every third command I do
to make the region go away and let me edit stuff as normal.

(I think `C-g' should only be used when you really want to get out of a
sticky situation -- not as part of the normal editing routine.)
