FWIW I use a function that
* Wraps the region in $$ if active
* "upgrades" the math environment:
$$ -> \[\] -> align* -> equation* -> align -> equation -> align*
(this is obviously very tuned to my personal tastes. I have wanted to
wrap around to $$ a few times though instead of back to align*.
Maybe I'll add that now...)
* if no region and not in a math environment, then inserts $$ with point between
I don't know whether thats an endorsement of this feature or not. :-)
I did find that I definitely liked being able to wrap a region with $$ though,
so I guess I'm +1.
