Spend time to design the defaults. Make sure that most users won't ever have to change a thing, but always, always have the settings, and always mark what the default value is, so if someone messes it up, they can find their way back. Forcing the user to make decisions because it was hard or annoying to find a good default decision is why some people have come to hate settings. I hate being forced to create a configuration. I love being allowed to change one.
