Re: Changing the defaults with Vim 8

A note in support of the idea that 8.0 seems like a
reasonable time for this kind of change. Vim's maximum
utility and friendliness really only come after some
configuration work, and I don't expect that to change any
time soon, but nudging it towards more modern out-of-the-box
behavior for new users seems like a fine idea at this point
in 2016.

As a data point re: hlsearch, it's something that I find
useful in small doses, and thus have a mapping to toggle. I
don't feel super strongly that it should be off by default,
but I'd probably turn it off in my own .vimrc if it were
on by default.
