It certainly shouldn't happen at install time; on first use would
make more sense. There is the welcome page that comes up, and it's
effectively useless. Who doesn't instantly look for the X button
on that? Perhaps it would be more helpful if the welcome page was
more focused on making users aware of some of the key ways they can
tailor the IDE to be more the way they personally want it, with a
focus on the most contentious preferences where literally 50% of the
people hate it one way and the other 50% hate it the other way.
Failing that, there will always be yet another cycle of "what should
be the default value for preference Xyz" with Xyz being just the
latest one that came to someone's mind...

Does anyone know of a commercial IDE that would ask questions
like this at install time? I can’t remember any but I have only
installed the big ones, Visual Studio and Xcode.
Thanks,

I did not agree to
anything. Someone asked whether there are at all
negative points when enabling spell-checking and that's
what I provided. I like the Oomph questionnaire based
approach.

Looks like Dani agrees, so JDT can
change its default and the EPP
would not need to change.
