Actually you say that the initial default should not be changed without urgent reasons, because compatibility comes first, or to put it in other words, compatibility is a sacred cow.Sticky wrote:But, even if it's that easy to change, it still shouldn't be "default". Why change things up unecessarily for the users who are currently satisfied--like me and black dog?
That goes without saying for libraries (programming interfaces). So why not for user interfaces? At least it seems to be Mr. Ghisler's policy if you look at his reaction (or rather non-reaction ) to my suggestion "Show TC's beauty & power by default – Config Schemes".
On the other hand I think that user interfaces are different than programming interfaces because user interfaces should be as easy and convenient as possible for the majority of users including the novices. For experienced users it's nothing to change the default back to the behaviour of a previous version.
But anyway the proposed TC configuration schemes such as "TC 6.5 Scheme" or "TC Classic Scheme" would satisfy all needs.
