Hello,
I wonder if there'd be any interest in changing the default value of
`org-refile-use-outline-path' to something other than nil? I can't
imagine the nil default would be anyone's preference (at least not
anyone with more than a handful of headings in a single file). How about
'file as a more user-friendly default?
Eric

Please don't change default values. Users cam always customise the
variable - I have it set to `file'.

I totally understand this point of view. But I have to tell you that I found the refile command to be totally useless when I first started using org-mode. It was almost a year before I figured out that this variable had to be customized to make it useful.
Yes, this is totally my fault for not reading the manual. But there was a lot to learn and it was a long time before I got around to reading that section. Once I tried it and it didn’t do anything I really wanted it to do, it fell off my radar as I concentrated on other things. I’m sure I’m not the only one.

i will be ok with whatever anybody decides about the default, but fwiw
i use nil, which is the default in maint.
