What are your thoughts on Charge Jumping?

I haven't seen anyone talking about this on the forum, but I think it's a pretty good addition. Jumping was one of the first things they added to Super Mario Kart back on the SNES, and I'm glad to see Nintendo show this simple hop some love.

You can always charge jump whenever you want to, like on a straight line. I guess that's why there are so many straight lines on the minimaps.
