I agree and finding similarly useful packages which could be enabled by default would help improving the initial user experience. In order to find these an elisp function could be written which outputs the name of those packages which are shipped with emacs, are disabled by default, but users enable them. This function then could be sent to this list and other emacs forums (emacs.reddit.com, etc.), so users can run it in their own emacs and then send the output to some adress or person. There the results can be summarized and those of these packages which are enabled by, say, 75% of the users, should be enabled by default in emacs.
