I really wish there was a setting I could find that got rid of the "Publish" button and forced me to mark something published from my posts view. First of all, I keep accidentally hitting "Publish" when I mean "Save." That's my fault but it still sucks. Secondly, it annoys me that the words "Publish" and "Schedule" are not always applied correctly and that seems easier to get right when you're looking at a list of saved entries.
Not that big a deal but it might be worth doing.
