Actually, the ideal thing for me would be a preference setting to select
one of three options:
1. Keep AutoFill enabled (just as it is currently to recall the most
recent transaction).
2. Disable AutoFill completely (to enter everything manually into a
fully blank transaction).
3. Enable AutoFill of Description only (and the rest of the
transaction stays blank).
For the most part, I'd probably like to use option 3. But if only the
first two were available, option 2 would be my choice.

I also like it [autofill] especially for memos.
Even if the transaction is somewhat unique and I've either cancelled
auto-fill or am entering additional splits, I frequently purchase
similar items throughout the year. Upon starting to enter a memo for an
item, it helpfully auto-fills the rest. I may have to slightly edit
something, but generally, the memo is done after a few characters typed,
*and* the proper account is already chosen. (as Stephen noted) I just
have to tab over and enter the amount.
I don't think anyone has suggested removing autofill. It's just that
during the long thread a few weeks ago many people said they didn't like
it and would like a preference available to disable it -- not a way to
reject it while entering each transaction, but a simple preference
setting to turn it off.
No one wants to take autofill away from the people who like it, as far
as I saw.
