probably because mostly developers are using it at this point? ;-)

or is this mode "in the wild" and if so have there been positive comments (i 
know, those are rare at the best of times) on it? or any feedback whatsoever?

leaving bad options is a bad idea. despite it being nice for someone's 
personal work habits (read: quirks ;) .... can you think of a less obtrusive 
way to achieve a similar end? 

i can see where "click means edit" can be nice, especially if you are editting 
a lot of things rather than selecting and then acting on them. so perhaps 
find a better way to provide this same functionality?
