I am in the "keep it simple school". So long as org allows me to
distinguish between numbered and unnumbered itemised lists, I am
happy. I actually would prefer less choices than there are currently
because I would like to get to my choice more quickly when I do use
C-c - to change the type!
To me, org is about information and time management, not about
formatting. YMMV, of course!
To be blunt, I would be happy with "-" and "1." in org, knowing that I
can customise upon export if necessary! I'm not suggesting we go this
far, however ;-)
