If any decision to 'tidy up' is made, imo it should be based on what's best for the future of wings ... not necessarily what people prefer to use or (even) what rises to the top of a poll ... 'cos we all know very few ppl will get involved with the latter, thus potentially skewing the results.
Since much discusssion is / has been based around modifier key conflicts ... I'd suggest that if a single cam mode is going to be chosen, then it be one that doesn't use any mod keys at all - thus leaving them all free for wings use ... rather than leaving them present to placate users of other s/w with their own cam configurations.
If this route was adopted, and a line drawn in the sand now (say) then - from this point on, all current cam modes could still (possibly?) be available via prefs ... but all future coding would be done on the basis that wings only supported the one chosen. Users of other cam modes trying to access features coded for the 'chosen one' (in the future) would then be presented with an appropriate message
Would people complain ... sure, but let's rewind a few yrs ... would same pple complain in the heyday of Nendo / Mirai if Mirai had suddenly been offered for $99 as a Xmas special for a month, say. Would same ppl have said .... 'wow, great ... but it doesn't use abc cam mode, so I'll have difficulty using it with my other apps, so I'll pass on this offer...
I suspect not ... the only decision to be made would've been associated with what armour to wear in order to prevent getting trampled underfoot ...
