I'll look into myself why don't I miss this feature at all :) Even though I consider myself quite fast in editing. To me pressing Home to go to col 1 is not a problem, and moving back to original col position is also something negligible in practice. Though for this to be true the editor is best to support moving past EOL. Something which is not supported by HBIDE and several other editors (f.e. vi, MSVS). It may help if cursor tries to jump back to original column, but for me it's rather confusing visually. My only somewhat useful conclusion here is the you cannot just pick one feature and judge it by itself, you have to see the whole picture. It's also about habits. And the "market share" of them.
