And the whole discussion revolves around what it means for one of the fields when one edits the other. And from what I can tell, it would be easier to unify the subsurface community in a decision of the emacs vs. vi question than on this.

To your other point... I think the main mistake was to remove the GPS coordinates from the main screen. If we hadn't done that, almost all confusion could have been avoided.
