Good point.

undo-tree has been stable for me lately, but it might be overkill for a 
lot of users, and the default undo behavior is... exotic.

So I think ideally we'd switch to the above key mappings by default. But 
since this is going to be a hard sell, at least this option should be 
better documented/advertised, maybe even on the new splash screen people 
have imagined/mentioned.
