I've never understood why this was chosen as the default experience. Most users don't enjoy having every form element yelling at them for actions they haven't even had a chance to take! You can script around this, but at that point the feature isn't doing much. I'd argue this is the biggest reason you don't see more widespread adoption.


Perhaps the same reasoning that IDEs show syntax errors before you save the file? (No, I don't like that feature either.)
