The people who find it acceptable, are people who don't need option or never thought of the posibility. To more than plenty of people, as can be seen in this and other topics like it, it's a needed functionality, which is why most other photo editors have it as default. The problem was already clearly explained in the original post. The quetsion is, in what workflow does the initial display of an image not play a role? Perhaps you're working with just one photo for a long time, before you proceed to process other photos, so the extra step is not an issue to you. Some of us work with a lot of photos and needing to take this extra step every single time is a problem.
