[Samuel Wales]

i will be ok with whatever anybody decides about the default, but fwiw
i use nil, which is the default in maint.

I totally understand this point of view.  But I have to tell you that I found 
the refile command to be totally useless when I first started using org-mode.  
It was almost a year before I figured out that this variable had to be 
customized to make it useful.

Yes, this is totally my fault for not reading the manual.  But there was a lot 
to learn and it was a long time before I got around to reading that section.  
Once I tried it and it didn’t do anything I really wanted it to do, it fell off 
my radar as I concentrated on other things.  I’m sure I’m not the only one.

Please don't change default values. Users cam always customise the
variable - I have it set to `file'.

[O] Change default value of org-refile-use-outline-path?

[Eric Abrahamsen]

Hello,

I wonder if there'd be any interest in changing the default value of
`org-refile-use-outline-path' to something other than nil? I can't
imagine the nil default would be anyone's preference (at least not
anyone with more than a handful of headings in a single file). How about
'file as a more user-friendly default?
