It is still a powerful feature when needed for macro processing, but it
happens more often that I search for something and then decide I'd like
to delete that whole line, and a 'cut' would then just delete the selection.

Another thing that has happened that I searched for something, found and
had it automatically selected, and I then decided to do a replace -- and
it would only replace in the selection, very annoying as well. So for
general usage not handy, but to toggle it on when needed very powerful.
