I completely agree and I think this is a much better attitude than the increasingly popular ideology of making the application just do the right thing INSTEAD of exposing options. Obviously the default should be to do the right thing but without options users feel like they are being controlled by machines which is simply not what we want. I know lots of luddites with this perspective and it ultimately stems from laziness on the part of programmers.
