I'm not writing off autokey completely (my "autokey is the devil"
comment was mostly in jest). It certainly has its uses and I've
definitely enabled it for tweaking. I certainly agree with you there.
However, I still find that manual keying suits me better for the
initial blocking and refinement passes. That being the case, I prefer
to have autokey disabled when I start and then turn it on when I need
it. For me, autokey is a good feature when you need it, but not all
that great as a primary tool for animating.

And like you said, it isn't difficult to turn on when you want to use
it.
