Anyhow, I will try and add additional results to the data if we
get more
responses (so far 2.)
And please use the default values to clean out "configurations" to
the
default.
Hello Carsten/List,
Here are the final set of results after three days of polling.
1. Total respondents : 36
2. No. of customizations reported : 887 (minus faces)
3. Avg. no. of customizations/respondent : 24.6
4. No. of unique variables customized : 260 (give or take a few to
account for faces etc.)
5. Percentge of variables customized : ~ 69% (when total 377)
6. Percentage of variables customized by
at least more than one person : ~ 36% (135/377)
Following table lists those variables (total 78) that have been
customized to non-default values by at least three users (threshold
decided to limit the size of the table.)

I am attaching the latest raw data in case anyone wants to play with
it to extract some more nuggets of insights or see what non-default
values were used etc.
Dan, thank you for the R code snippets. I could use some of it and
rest frustrated me (due to my miniscule R knowledge.. so far.) So I
did some of it in Excel.
Finally, thanks to everyone who responded (conspicuously missing were
Charles Cave, Russell Adams, Adam Spiers, Bastien, Leo, Eddward
DeVilla... .) It has been an awesome thread so far, a gold mine of
ideas and (for me) a chance to peek into the ways of working of people
way more prodcutive than I.
Thank you all

PS: Carsten has already started another thread to discuss changing the
defaults.
