yes, I use it all the time (I've used a code snippet to achieve this years
before it was officially added)

not at all

no, the default is perfect for me. I could live with a horizontal bar, but I
loathe vertical bars.

perfect defaults for me (only one window, one frame, default rate is ok)
(another nice feature is that cursor changes color in overwrite-mode)

no

I estimate my average of the number of frames in a longer session is
somewhere around 5. I use frames to organize my work and the blinking cursor
helps me not to lose track.

To decode, wherever there is a repeated letter
(like "aa"), remove one of them (leaving, say, "a").
