Issue #5630: Sample Merged as defaults in Color Picker tool.
The rational: advanced users won't really care about defaults (they know
to switch this option on/off depending on situation) but maybe beginners
would be less confused to pick "what they see" on first use, rather than
picking on the active layer? Now whatever is the default won't change
anyone's daily usage of GIMP. Clearly every image and use case is
different, so both with or without sample merged are useful one time or
another (this is why the option exists). It's really about the less
surprising option for beginners, based on usage statistics.
I ran a small poll on Twitter/Reddit/Patreon/Tipeee and ended up with
numbers of 131 for switching to "Sample merged" as default and 43
against, which is about 75% in favor. So let's just switch. It makes
sense anyway.
