I don't agree with this principle. I like a tool that behaves sanely with little work and that is flexible enough to do hard things when that's needed. Neither of those attributes implies configurability, except in those unfortunate cases where "behaving sanely with little work on the user's part" has to involve a different behavior from person to person. When people disagree about sane defaults, that's a sign that we didn't understand the problem well. Often more thinking can lead to a simpler answer. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
