This is false, again speaking personally only. I use that binding
heavily (in fact, that and the sexp movement commands are the only
ones I use enough to have learned to always use the Meta key for if
it's available; others meta bindings I often use ESC <key> still).
This is a very common gesture when editing text for me, more so than
C-k, actually.
I would like to second that statement. I use `kill-sentence' and
'kill-sexp' very frequently also.

I don't have a problem with that as default (I'll just change it back
in .emacs), but I suspect you will find that in general people who
spend more time editing TeX than they do Lisp will be upset.
Also, I don't mind this because I don't fear changing it back. I think
that the assessment of 'broadly used' is incorrect, though.
