Because RAD tools shouldn't cater for the lowest common denominator,
they should cater for the most popular configuration. Not having to set
a bunch of common options each time you make a new project because of
some edge-cases is a good thing.

Because administrating webservers and writing web applications is my day
job. Gzip increases responsiveness of a website for users - and if
you're using AJAX (as a lot of TG apps will be) this is extremely
important! I think it should be defaulted on because most people won't
know about the option and probably won't turn it on if they just came
across it.
