Pjama's point is that it has gone from 2 to 3.

I hate gratuitous extra taps, but I'm with you that 2 makes it harder to accidentally bookmark. Going from 1 to 2 also made it faster and easier to go to existing bookmarks.

I'm skeptical that going to 3 is anything but bad.

Regarding the poll title and available response choices, it strikes me as analogous to the question "when are you going to stop beating your wife?".
