Hi,
I personally prefer it being disabled. This way I can quickly change any setting (e.g. panel listing format) knowing it won't persist and my config won't be overwritten. Otherwise I'd eventually end up with a config that slowly, step by step diverges very far away from my original preference, or it would take a significant amount of ongoing effort to manually revert everything that I change just for a couple of seconds.
What makes you think the default setting is "wrong"? I don't think there's an objective truth which vaule is the "good" and which is the "wrong". It's a matter of personal taste, and that's why it's configurable.
