If someone wants to setup a poll, please do so.

My current decision is largely based on the fact that most/all major
modes providing some kind of "electric indent" behavior have
traditionally enabled it by default, and very few users have complained
about it, even when it was difficult to disable.

Also, AFAIK many(most?) non-Emacs programming editors have a similar
feature enabled by default.
