Experienced users usually already have a custom theme, so they won't be affected. There is actually some statistics about downloades themes here: This would be an utterly disastrous change. As an experienced user, I do not have a custom theme, and prefer to use the defaults of Emacs. 4) Enable display-line-numbers-mode by default. Almost all editors around have line numbers by default why we hide them? Just no. Just because everyone does it, doesn't mean that it is a good default. In the majority of cases, there is no need to see the line number -- for example, like when writting an email. 5) Enable winmove and mouse-wheel-mode by default. What is winmove? I think all these are very conservative changes (specially considering that we have 2-3 years before enabling them) They are absolutley not conservative changes.
