 There are many legitimate reasons too.

 Replying to [comment:8 mikeperry]:
 > I suppose we could burry a "New Circuit" button in the Network Settings
 window somewhere that does SIGNAL NEWNYM only.

 Please do not "bury" this somewhere there are so so so SO many times where
 I'll encounter a webite that decides to either use google recaptchas when
 you make too many connections from the same IP or decides to use
 cloudflare which sometimes won't even allow you to try and solve the
 captcha at all!

 Also another horrible aspect of google recaptchas that make me use NEWNYM
 is that when you're coming from an exit node outside your country the
 words tend to be even harder to solve cause they're not in your native
 language.

 Please reconsider.
