I use zwgc at times, and I often have large piles of zephyrs on my
screen. The nature of most of the classes that I subscribe to is that I
might like to go back and read the messages I've been ignoring, but that
what's most important is what just arrived. The current default
behaviour makes my happy. I suspect many zwgc users have similar modes
of usage.
On the other hand, one of the basic ideas with AUI has been to make
things easier for naive users (who presumably would like the newer
windows on the bottom of the stack), as presumably a power user who likes
things otherwise can fix it themselves. I'm still not hugely comfortable
with this, though, but I think that's the core argument for changing the
zwgc defaults (as well as a lot of other things).
