Emphasis on sane defaults.
One issue is that "sane" changes over time, but it's hard to change defaults without upsetting people who suddenly find their defaults changed because of an update.
(Although I'd argue that's best solved by letting them be upset until they understand why the default changed.)
e.g. a Video capture which previously defaulted to 320x240 might later default to 640x480 and now default to 1440x720.
- thaeli 10y agoOr better yet, intelligently handle the change as a suggestion during the upgrade process. "We see you are still using the legacy default 320x240 setting. We are now recommending 640x480. Do you want to change to this new recommendation, or keep your existing setting?" Something like that.
