Another use case for playing with org-link-brackets config:

In my opinion the underline in the org-link face makes descriptive
links with many words less readable. Currently I try out underline
turned off. To compensate for the missing indication of beginning and
end of adjacent descriptive links I changed org-link-brackets from my
previous '(0 2) to '(1 2) to get 1 bracket pair around descriptive
links.

For those interested in readability:

Put the following without the #-lines in an empty Org buffer (with the
default face for org-link and underline) and try to read as fast as
possible.

To my understanding underline and UPPERCASE decrease readability
because they affect the bouma.
