In 2.49 and 2.5 the first thing I did to use Blender was to switch to turntable. It isn't perfect for sculpting an texturing, since you loose some kind of freedom, but otherwise i feel much more comfortable with turntable.
But there is a second thing that i always change. I switch the preset for panning and rotation against each other in the viewport. You can pan everywhere while pressing the middle mouse button and drag. But inside the viewport it is rotation. *big eyes* The reasons for me to do that: * I pan much more often then i rotate the view. * In isometric perspective (front, left, ...) this preset is rather annoying to me. Just miss to hold down the shift key and the view is gone. Especially with "auto perspective" enabled (i like it). * It just feels natural to me, since most applications let you pan with the middle mouse button. Why not make it the default?
