We were talking about defaults and feelings here, I'm aware that it's easy enough to fix (and to be fair, I now often use ripgrep with the inverse alias)…

I'm generally a big fan of smartcase. Most of the time I don't care about case and it's easier to type it that way, and when I care, it's often mixed or upper case, so smartcase Does What I Mean. And for the few times when I explicitly search for all-lowercase, it's easy enough to turn it off (M-c, -s, :set nosmartcase etc.).
