I agree 100%. I try and keep my desktop as close to default as possible
because it makes it so much easier to test bugs. The less customization I
do, the more likely it is that it isn't my fault somehow. And besides, just
because I know how to edit config files doesn't mean I like doing it.

Although I'd much rather have everything work the way I want it to out of
the box, I realize that sometimes my preferences differ from the norm. I'm
fine with that, but if we're going to do something as fundamental as a UI
reorganization, we have to be absolutely sure that the majority would
benefit from it.
