Yeah. That doesn't mean people use compile/recompile. I almost never
use it, and I do use Emacs to do programming.
I suspect that many *do* use compile/recompile though :)
Could we at least bind compile/recompile to some key combo, even if not to F12?

A good question.
Anyone know: has anyone ever conducted usability tests on any Emacs? I
suspect there are things we could do to make Emacs and its many modes
easier to learn. :-)

I don't agree. Free, simple keys are a relatively scarce resource. I'd
rather keep them for users.
We can bind them in a way that makes users' customizations always
override the defaults. This is what was done already with the F1 key.
