I'm also opinionated, but not on the fence :-).

I figure that if I say "go" the computer should go as far as it can (in either 
direction).

I can see myself skipping backwards through a clip, a minute at a time.
I'd DEFINITELY like to get all the way to the beginning or end.  Why should
I get to 0:59 and need to use a different key?

The beep I don't care much about, but it does say clearly "you're at the beginning
or end".
