As far as I'm aware, the majority of installed operating systems (i.e. 
Windows or Mac) don't have an input switch enabled by default.  I can't 
see the justification for us doing any different.

More than just a few users have complained about the accidental input 
switching that used to happen all the time previously.

I suspect the number of users that actually use input functionality will 
be quite low.

As long as it is easy to enable for advanced users (i.e. not the common 
user), I don't see a problem with it.
