Why do i have to reenter the 'new organization' name when I have already entered it in the 'current employer' field
I recall tons of duplicate organisations created on &lt; 4.6, because people wouldn't wait until the list of organisations was properly loaded and so on.

So in general, having a bit more control before creating a new organisation, and give it the chance to be more than an empty one makes sense IMO.

As your specific point, it would be better indeed that the field is pre-populated. PR welcome and all that ;)
