Sometimes I'm surprised how little users explore the features and do not
do any customization. The more important are reasonable defaults;
reasonable for the novice user and not the power user. In Emacs 21
there have been made attempts to make the GUI more compliant with other
editors; tmm turned on by default would go in the same direction. But
with the entry in the Options menu it can at least be found more easily.

It would be cool to have a global function that does commenting or
uncommenting, depending on whether code is already commented out or not
(part of comment-dwim's functionality). So far I had my own routine for
that which I also included in vhdl-mode. I wanted to get rid of it but
can't since comment-dwim only works with tmm turned on.

That's probably right.
