show-paren-mode is only relevant to buffers displaying code.
As a text editor, not all Emacs buffers will be code.
Therefore show-paren-mode should not be globalized minor mode.

I disagree. Plain text also uses balanced parens (like this).

Luckily we don’t need agreement, given that the solution is only to make
the mode non-global, which will allow user preference, similar to minor
modes that are only relevant to non-code text, e.g. visual-line-mode.

I don't see any benefit to doing that. But if someone wants to do it,
IMO it should be a _new_ minor mode and not a change to the existing
one.

Note that show-paren-mode is not "globalized"; it is simply a
global minor mode. If it was a globalized mode, then there would
(necessarily) be a buffer-local mode already.
Changing it to a globalized mode would actually be a possible
solution to your issue, as you could then provide a way for the
user to determine whether or not the buffer-local mode was enabled
for any given buffer.

Well... if the user wants the mode disabled in some mode, the user can
say (setq-local show-paren-mode nil) in the hook for the mode. (And can
check whether it's enabled by just looking at that variable.)
On the other hand, it'd make the mode more regular -- perhaps the user
just wants to switch it on in just a particular buffer.
But we can't really change the names of the global(ized) version of the
mode, because that'd break people's setups. So instead of having a
global-show-paren-mode/show-paren-mode, we'd have
show-paren-mode/show-parent-mode-this-buffer (or something), which is
also pretty confusing.
So taking all that into consideration, I think it'd better to just leave
things as they are, and I'm closing this bug report.

There are plenty of minor modes that use FOO-mode (global) and
FOO-local-mode but on the other hand I must recognise your straw man.
Tally another up for your stats Lars!

That's a good point; didn't know that. Perhaps we should flip this
around as suggested, then, and I'm reopening this bug report.

Haven't tried it, but it looks good to me. It should probably be paired
with a mention from `show-paren-mode' to say the -local-mode should be
used to switch show-paren-mode off in specific buffers (and the same in
the manual).

Makes sense.
I've pushed the change, and with this, I'm now closing the bug.
Please report if anything's still missing, of course.
