No, I want to select n repositories and then switch them all to another branch, see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=361304#c1.

There are at least three issues with it:
1. EGit does not allow to switch branches on multiple repos at once


so you want to checkout the same branch in multiple repositories at once ?
Can you file an enhancement request ?
 
2. You usually also have to change the PDE target platform
3. It takes *much* longer to do this than just launching a workspace that already has the desired branch

Is it a bad idea because switching branches is bad or because the IDE doesn't support it well? It smells like we're touching another topic worth exploring in Eclipse IDE...
Anyway, make sure your removing more haters than you’re creating.
How can we make sure of that?
And make sure you have some degree of consensus on the direction.
Can you please elaborate "some degree of consensus"? We could run a poll.
And if you do do it, make sure you set it in a preference so we can override it in our commercial products. Different communities have different levels of hate for this.
I don't fear hate ;) People hate whenever something change anyway, even if on the long run that's what they need.
There's already a preference: IDE.Preferences.SHOW_WORKSPACE_SELECTION_DIALOG in the ConfigurationScope. I don't know whether this scope can be tweaked by plugin_customization.ini . Anyone?
Note that my suggestion isn't necessarily to change default in Platform (so it would cascade to RCPs), it can simply be to change the preference in relevant EPPs.
