Just a note to clarify sqlplus
It does start in noautocommit as you say.
However, it issues a commit when you exit (with quit, Ctrl-D or whatever) which is (in my opinion) incorrect, and very much worth taking into account
when writing scripts for Oracle.
I think it should automatically issue a rollback on exit.

I'm sure there are people who disagree with that statement. For instance Oracle's sqlplus starts in noautocommit by default. And I've found that to be a good thing actually.
For what it's worth I also think default client policy may as well be left unchanged, or there will be a lot of baffled people.
