I agree that the current default is not ideal. Preferred behavior probably depends on the use case, but -c
as default is quite different from what everybody else does (so potentially it is unexpected): loading each vector layer to map display with different single color versus different color for each feature in the vector map/layer. I think it is a great checkbox, just not sure if it should be enabled by default.

You are right, -c
shouldn't be enabled by default. After some testing I can say that it's messy in many cases (point layers for example). I am leaving this ticket open in order to implement new GUI settings to colorize map layers (not features) similarly as other software do.

Currently this option is disabled. For next main release 7.6 I would suggest to enable it by default. Reasons:
What do you think?
