I like the minibuffer... especially for debugging, and I know I used it
for other stuff as well (creating/testing command sequences for instance).
I would like to keep the shortcut, but maybe someone can explain what the
problem is with keeping 'M-x' as a keyboard shortcut? (Btw, the shortcut
is the same as the one used in Emacs for activating the "minibuffer").
Note that if we remove the shortcut, someone will have to fix the
documentation on the wiki that says things like
Type in the minibuffer (open it with M-x): math-matrix row cols
or sometimes things similar to
type 'M-x date-insert'

instruct the user to do something very specific by asking him to purely
type something (i.e. no menu/dialog clicking).
