I don't necessarily have the same preferences as Richard, so there might
be some defaults which I may be willing to consider changing, but I tend
to agree with David that many of the features provided in Emacs are not
turned on by default mostly because they're not polished enough.
> - transient-mark,
I'd like to make transient-mark-mode enabled by default, although the
details of how to do it aren't clear yet. The way I see it happen:
provide a new setting of transient-mark-mode which makes all mark-*
commands enable temporary-transient-mark-mode. In most cases, the only
difference between this and plain old transient-mark-mode will be the
need to use C-SPC C-SPC rather than C-SPC, and C-u C-x C-x rather than
C-x C-x.

Not sure about this one. I've been using cua-selection-mode (well,
enabling rather than using, really) for a little while now and
I basically don't notice it, so it looks like it might be worth
enabling. But I think for it to be enabled by default, we may want to
integrate it more tightly so that it doesn't need post-command-hook,
for example.

Never liked it. Is it really that popular?

I'd rather improve the general completion mechanism, than only improve
it for buffer selection.

See other email.

What does it provide by default (other than hiding #if 0...#endif)?
Last I checked I got the impression that this package requires
configuration to be useful, so enabling it by default doesn't help much.
Did I miss something?
> - flyspell-mode on by default for text-mode
I indeed have it on in text-mode (and programming modes as well, as
a matter of fact), but I haven't given any thought to enabling it
by default. I think it might be a bit too brittle currently to be
enabled by default: it usually works just fine, but I've had problems
with it every once in a while.
