But quite frankly, I don't understand what's so bad about letting the
user change the cursor width. I put that at the same level as the color.
I'd say it's an accessibility feature. Some people have difficulty to
locate the cursor when it is black and one-pixel wide.
I really think this is a matter of preferences. In some cases the cursor
can be wider than the fonts, and this looks bad to my eyes. See attached
images.
Well, I agree this is a matter of preference because I have difficulty
to quickly locate the cursor in your second screenshot. I don't mind the
cursor being ugly but I do mind if I have to search for it. On eye shot
should suffice and 1-pixel cursor is definitely not enougth for me.
