in my usage, the current distinction between org-mark-ring and
mark-ring does not disturb me at all. i agree that it would be good
to be able to use global-mark-ring as a substitute for both
global-mark-ring and org-mark-ring, but ONLY if it takes me to the
exact location just like org-mark-ring does.
i use mark-ring extensively. this is when i mark manually, or in
cases like isearch or bob. it is intuitive and i never have to think
about the distinction from org-mark-ring. i agree that some users
would expect the mark to be set also. which i think is a good idea,
for both global and local mark rings. but ONLY if the global one goes
to the exact spot.
i do not use global-mark-ring. this is because [1] nonergo binding
[fixable] [2] i haven't made prev and next for it [fixable] [3] it
makes ZERO sense to me why it behaves so strangely.
i expect global-mark-ring to take me to the exact spot. period. when
it doesn't, i get so confused that i just stop using it. i don't
understand why anybody finds it intuitive. do a lot of people use it?
unlike the local mark ring, i have never seen actual use of it
mentioned in the community. perhaps its users have tiny files.
