Let me make this list nonempty again.

In the course of a day, I typically find myself pulling from the Isabelle 
repository several times. I am encouraged in this by my use of Mercurial 
queues. So it's not untypical that my HOL image is slightly out of date, 
usually in a harmless way. Sometimes I fire up Proof General just because I 
know it will take the image as is instead of forcing me to rebuild it (and 
waste 4 minutes of my time).

This is not a big issue, and I presume that if Proof General stopped to exist, 
I would adapt my workflow accordingly -- e.g. by getting into the habit of 
rebuilding HOL after each pull. But the above observation is connected with 
Andrei's "corridor full of smart people". Sometimes I would just wish 
Isabelle/jEdit could allow me to do the quick-and-dirty things the more 
primitive Proof General allowed -- a "I know what I'm doing" flag so to speak.
