Hi Burr, well the alternative to not doing this for fillet is for nothing to happen at all... Which is not exactly a very great alternative for a beginner as well.

As time goes on hopefully I can make more and more adjustments to try and solve some of the most frequently encountered problems more automatically. For example automatically correcting tangents that are within say 5 degrees of being smooth to be tweaked to be fully smooth would clear up one category of problems.

It is a general goal for MoI to make it more friendly and productive for novices by trying to handle some of these details for you with less expert knowledge required... The overall UI has helped go in that direction a lot already, but there will still be a lot more steps taken towards that as time goes on.
