Users who don't want it will be annoyed once, they'll turn it off, and that'll be that. Users who want it and didn't know about it will think that LyX gained an awesome, major feature, and will be ecstatic. Marketing.

The icons for some are not visually obvious, so one has to hover over them -- lots of them. Meanwhile it's hard to notice that there's a new toolbar button. As a lowly user, I'm in favor of making this the default. Nico --
