[cdt-dev] Why is folding disabled by default?

[Eugene Ostroukhov <eostroukhov@xxxxxxxxx>]

Recently we had a usability testing for our CDT-based IDE. I hope we will be able to suggest some enhancements and patches based on our findings.

One of the questions we had was why we don't have folding in source editors. I pointed out it is there but merely disabled by default. I wonder why it is disabled by default as I am keen on enabling it in our product.

Are there any technical issues (i.e. unreliable, performance) that make it non-worthy to be enabled by default or it is off simply as a matter of taste?

Thank you,
Eugene
