Print is typically bottom left.

Er... Since when? :)

Print has been top left for ages.

Honestly, I don't know. But I believe that Postscript is bottom left and PS1 was 1984. So at least since then :)

I think QuarkXpress and Indesign use a top left origin, but I'm not sure anymore.

Seems Illustrator uses bottom left.

There has been only a single case in my whole life where an origin that wasn't top left seemed useful :)

If an option, it should be per document, as the merit of various origins depends on the specific case.
