Now, about the "on by default." I guess, at least for me, I don't see any reason to turn it off. So I would want all effects to default to having the live effect enabled. I realize that first time users of Inkscape may be frustrated once, but I think they'd learn quickly to prefer having it on.
But in this case, why not follow Bulia's suggestion to turn it off by default but remember if it was last off or on when the effect is used again (or did I get him wrong there)? I don't know about other users but I for one completely agree with him about finding it annoying to be faced with the results of an effect I haven't yet been given a chance to study in some detail (or sometimes I want to see the original object for some reason). And the two examples he gives in a previous post show that there are situations where each of the two behaviours makes sense, so imho it definitely should be an option to have live previewing enabled (with it being disabled by default).
