Majority says disable by default. For usability as well as aesthetics,
I'd say:
a) most people use tabs for indentation, and do it on their default values;
b) on most machines, it looks prettier without rulers. I use a very good
GTK2 theme, so the rulers are really fancy, but it's not the rule (pun
intended);
c) screen real estate, as already stated (pun intended) by many;
d) using the ruler is a rather advanced formatting tool, if compared to
the current ease of turning it on/off;
e) we could always take it back, if we manage to improve it's size,
looking etc., or if we favor direct formatting or at least auto-updating
of styles.
For all the above reasons (and no reason against it so far), I believe
we should disable it by default. There will always be time to review
this in the future when analysing other defaults (which I agree we
should do, Kévin, just not now IMHO).
PS.: just for being the devil's advocate, disabling it by default could
lead some to think it's not offered in the suite. However, I don't
believe someone who would actually miss it would, at the same time,
think it's gone for good or not be able to find it in a few seconds.

Does a UI expert says what he thinks ? Because actually, it seems it should
be disabled (majority seems to think this)
