None of the developers in this thread have said "let's ignore the views of users". The point made has simply been that developers should make the final decision. Note that that is developers (plural), not a single individual. That's how Rockbox has always worked - no single person is in charge. As has been mentioned elsewhere, there are sometimes good reasons (e.g. accessibility by blind users) why certain "unpopular" options are chosen to be the default Rockbox behaviour. And please don't forget that Rockbox is a multi-platform firmware The discussion you referred to at the start of this discussion took place on a user forum dedicated to a single target - hardly the best place to gather the views of the majority of your users.
