Why not enable font lock by default?

I wonder: why don't you set the default value of
font-lock-auto-fontify to t? It will help newbies who are just trying
XEmacs for the first time. Also, even GNU Emacs has nowadays enabled
font lock by default: whoever doesn't want it can disable it manually.

The big hindrance on 21.4 is that if you have the progress gauge
widget enabled, you will very likely crash.
I also think most of the font-locking configurations are pretty ugly,
and have heavily customized my own. But I'm not prepared to inflict my
environment on unsuspecting newbies.... So, while I won't veto it if
somebody else wants to, I am not going to do it myself.
