I defy you to back up this "impression" (guess, opinion, preference) with
any kind of substantial support. I'd lay odds you're projecting your
guesses, opinions and preferences onto "most people". Shame on you.
Personally I think it's a major feature
That makes one of you so far.
As Neil stated lets bring things down a notch here. There's no reason for things to get heated. If you think type ahead find gets in your way and you'd like to see a toggle for it ask around to see if there's already a hidden pref you can set to turn it off, and check bugzilla for a bug to add a pref.
As for it defaulting to off on a new installation - Even if there is a clear pref option I would argue strongly to do anything but disable it by default. (and by that I mean leave it on by default or do a prompt on first usage as popup blocking does). Why you ask? Even if the feature will be used by a minority of Camino users it is a point of differentiation between Camino and other native OS X browsers and a difficult to discover one at that. I would think it would serve Camino well to make features like this easier for a user to discover and try out rather then harder to discover.
As for my take on how important type ahead find is *to me*? Well, as it sits right now type ahead find is one of 3 'missing' features of Camino that prevent me from using Safari. When it was an only Mozilla thing I really missed it in Camino and was very pleased to see it activated here, too.
(the other 2... if you're curious... in app ftp/local directory browsing and bookmark keywords)
