Regular link = choice [1].

_blank link = no choice.

For a hacker-community, it's a no-brainer.

with equal due respect some of us use the middle button for even more useful things [1]

I am so used to using command-click on my Mac to open up links in a new firefox tab. I agree with mseebach, let's give readers the choice to open links as they wish.

I'm used to the mousewheel button, all links I click with it, even if I don't need that page, I go back and close it.

Simply, get addicted to that button :D
