All the time? No. I just checked one of my working directories (code for working with analytic abelian varieties and principal polarizations). Of ~60 matrix() calls, ~6 do not specify the ring. And what do you know: all those instances are "functional style" mappings and other generic constructs, the ones that I want to keep powerful. More than half specify the ring because they are instantiating test data. So of my uses of matrix(), about 1 of 10 total uses and about 1 of 5 "library code" uses do use the generic features.
