I'm constantly bitten by that change, but was too lazy to dig for the cause. But now that I know, I want to add 2c. If one writes prose it looks much more natural to have * Healine start editing in column 1 of next row. (Personally I would prefer to start at row 3, but independent of the depth of the heading. Probably there is a setting already?) C-j is fine and nice, but I *feel* the default should be the other way round. I'm in no way emotional about these changes, but as Arne demonstrates in his example text, org files become less readable when using the new default. Heavy indenting is not what we are used to see if we have subheadings in prose. Readability of org on the screen should be very high in list of usability target. (Most probably it indeed is for the developers! I'm not assuming you would neglect it!) Maybe all boils down to a matter of taste, but at least imho Arne's example shows the problem quite clearly. For lists or sequences of mostly empty headings this does not matter as much. Furthermore: If I understand correctly electric-ident mode is thought to be a helper for programming major modes. In my opinion org is no (not only, much more than a) programming mode, so maybe electric ident is not the optimal default.=20 Just one more opinion. Detlef
