Turn on proportional editing by pressing ALT while editing
It is quite daunting to first enable proportional editing and after moving objects turn it off, I think a better approach should be to have function like snapping where we can temperorarily turn it on by CTRL button, in the similar way blender should implement function like pressing ALT will turn on proportional editing on.

Somebody made a patch for this developer.blender.org/D6149 Sadly didn't get in because the help bar was running out of space:
I'm fine with the current hotkey (o) for Proportional Edit, but I agree that it should be toggleable AFTER you've started making your move (or rotate, or scale, etc.). Right now, you have to decide ahead of time and it breaks flow.
