I also greatly prefer the non-proceeding restart, so I guess a preference would be nice.
Probably a dumb question, but when is the usual proceeding restart useful? I have to admit that I've never had (or perceived) a need to use it instead of just using 'proceed'. I guess I can imagine some unusual situations, but it's much more often that I accidentally step over a method I wanted to send into, and I'd like a non-proceeding restart so I can try stepping through things again.
