The current default is a good one - stick with it.

New users would be unaffected by allowing Dodge as an option which is not the default. As such, all those who like it would still have it available, so everyone here would get exactly what they're after.

I've read many comments about how poorly Dodge tested with users, and have been impressed with the willingness to let a feature go based on user testing results. But unless those tests showed similar results for the decision to conceal menu commands from the user, it would seem there are reasonable questions about the methodology used in those tests.

Even if we take the user testing results as reported at face value, allowing Dodge as a non-default option lies completely outside of those results, since they would affect zero new users except those who explicitly go out of their way to use Dodge.

Given how well Dodge worked functionally, this seems like a win-win for all; I'm having difficulty understanding why there's a conflict at all here.
