The first question that jumps to mind is do I want preferences spanning Eclipse based products, each of which might have different defaults? And I’m not sure some users realize that’s there’s Eclipse underneath a given product and expect the preference
to migrate between products. Though I imagine expert users would.
I’d just be happy if preferences worked cross workspaces without needing Oomph magic.

What bugs me for a while:
There is a instance, a configuration and a default scope. Why is there no *user scope* which stores preferences like spell checker enablement in the user’s home folder instead into the workspace or eclipse installation folder?
Saving some preferences in user scope instead of the workspace scope will certainly require some changes to the existing UI. But it seems legit to ask why it’s not there...
Hi
Nearly every tool has asked questions but they steadily vanish into the Custom rather than Standard optiion in the Installer. But options such as 'Desktop Icon' often persust in a final installer page. Even the Java SDK installer stops half way through for
an extra irritating confusing question about the JRE location. Open Office has confusing/scary questions about user identity/initials.
Prior to OOMPH, Eclipse has no installer so no location for these defaults/variations. The workspace location dialog is the first place for an option. Perhaps this dialog could offer customizatiion.

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.
