There are a few commands where one has to change the learned behavior,
like when selecting the objects for alignment etc. but this is no big 
problem.
I'm in favor of changing.

On a related matter: When undoing an operation, say, after erroneously 
rotating the selected objects instead of translating them; the selection
goes away completely.
(I therefore got to the habit of grouping all larger collections of 
objects into a group, at least temporarily, before doing any operations 
with them.)

It would be nice if the selection were restored on UNDO (or simply "kept").
