I saw many times people asking the question on the net how the
default display of identicaly buffer names (buf<1>, buf<2>, etc.)
can be improved in emacs. People usually don't find uniquify in
the manual.
Should uniquify with style post-forward-angle-brackets (which
resembles the current default) be turned on by default?
It is a great improvement over the default display of duplicate names
and feels like a much better default.

I absolutely agree. It is probably something most users turn on anyway unless
they don't know about it. And it will create a better first impression for
new users.

I for one have been using uniquify for ever and am all in favor.
Obviously, the choice of which default to use is going to be a great
bikeshedding opportunity. So people, please focus first on whether you
want it enabled, and keep the bikeshedding for later.

I’m also in favour of enabling it by default. For what is worth - not a single Prelude user has ever complained about it being enabled by default in Prelude. AFAIK all popular Emacs configurations enable it by default as well. I guess the default style should be 'post-forward-angle-brackets for historical reasons, although I personally find 'forward easier to mind-parse and more natural.
