That's an odd stance, especially if you consider that changing your umask used to be literally a one-line change. It still is, if you only use the shell (locally or remotely). It still is, if you use a shell login plus startx plus a traditional window manager. Even with a Display Manager login and a traditional WM, there are still just two places you need to change. It only becomes *hard* when Desktop Environments are introduced into the picture.
