My preference is to retain the current situation where the 'java' command consistently rejects a wrong classname. I prefer consistent behaviour over the ability to type the class name without pressing the shift key (in most cases). Your preference, I believe, is the opposite. I don't think either of us should present our personal preference as being "more helpful to more users" without being reasonably certain that we speak for the majority of users.
