Just one thought, in addition to the others: A major benefit of using
'A' is that you can do it from anywhere in the line, without cranking
the cursor all the way there first. (OK, you can pause for a sip of
coffee while waiting for the cursor to run up there, for 'i' to work,
and that may be a counter-benefit. ;-)

And, as said, being able to '.' on other lines can be a big productivity
bonus.
