I disagree. I use it all the time, although I normally just hit one /, or
more often a ~ after an existing slash. I would be very upset if the
feature went away.
The point is that you don't need this to be electric for it to work --

You must be using XEmacs. Emacs won't erase the previous contents
of the
minibuffer until you hit tab or return, which means you can just hit DEL
to get rid of an extra slash.
So what's the problem?
