It has a common syntax to \time 4/4 for example. And it represents the factor which the group of notes is multiplied by, so I don't think there's a dilema about which number is first, 2 or 3.
I like \tuplet 3:2 as well, but the syntax is already too spread in Lily IMO. We use one naming for \time, other for \key, another now for \tuplet... I don't think it's generally a good idea. Users will only become confused about the colons. As for the triplet, it is a most-widely used tuplet (I'd say 90% of all the tuplets out there), so I vote for the triplet as well. \triplet = \tuplet 2/3 Regards. - Matevž
