 The fact that you need to type C-j instead of RET when creating a buffer
 does not seem such a huge imposition, it if makes selecting buffers much
 easier for everyone else (assuming we don't find a better solution).
I agree that typing C-j instead of RET for this case is not hard.
It is, however, a complication. If you know how to use the minibuffer,
you can use the ordinary C-x b command to do whatever you like.
The iswitchb interface doesn't show you that you should use C-j for this.
 I don't buy that "power user" argument. It is not dissimilar to the UI
 that you get nowadays when typing a URL in a browser.
It doesn't look anything like a file browser window. iswitchb output
is cryptic and short. That is convenient for the people who like it,
but does not help beginners understand, as a file browser window does.
 Perhaps if you say what is unclear, then it can be improved, or
 something better can be developed.
The problem is fundamental, and I don't think it can be fixed
without making iswitchb inconvenient for the people who like it.
