I too prefer to work the files according to taste rather than any predetermined calibrations. Sometimes I want a warm look, sometimes I want a cold look. But I always want to determine what the shot will look like when converted. The default calibrations are a good enough starting point. In fact, I've found that almost anything is a good enough starting point. Yesterday, I accidentally shot some tungsten pics when I had the camera set for daylight shade. The results were extreme orange and yellow. Yet, I easily dialed them in to what I wanted. Digital is forgiving and flexible. I see no reason to make it rigid and predetermined.
