Yes, I do (as well as FreeBSD, Mac OS X, and occasionally GNU/Linux).

Nope, I don't find that disturbing at all.
A related issue that I *did* find disturbing: on recent versions of
Fedora Core, the default Dired ordering interleaved dot-files with
ordinary files, because of some DWIMish behavior of the underlying `ls'
implementation. I added "setenv LC_ALL C" to my .cshrc to work around
this behavior, because the underlying `ls' doesn't expose any other knob
to control this behavior. Bleah.

I spend a fair amount of time outside of Emacs under w32 (and the other
systems above).

I don't know. I'm not a newbie, and I don't presume to know what would
be easier for them.

Of course, and that's precisely what I'll do if this default changes.
