1. If you want to make it a system default by placing in /etc/bashrc, there is no need for duplication at the user level. 2. Once you pipe the output through more or less, colors would be lost, and multi-column outputs would not be there. The ANSI color codes would be stripped by the pager. If you do "ls -alf --color=yes > somefile" and you do a cat of "somefile" you will see it in single column. View the same file through a pager and even colours will go.
