Could you provide a more sensible description of the problem? For
example:
When I use MC on the console of my FreeBSD machine with
TERM=cons25, Ctrl-O swaps panels properly.
However, when I ssh from my FreeBSD machine into a Linux host,
which uses the completely non-standard TERM=linux, Ctrl-O causes
puppies to leap out from my screen and chew my keyboard.

If all you ever use is Linux, then yes, it's fantastic. However, for
something to be useful in the UNIX world, interoperability is important.

If this is the kind of thing that's going to make you love or hate an
operating system, you're in for some hard knocks. :-)
Ciao,
Sheldon.
