FWIW even though I am a rather heavy user of non-cone mode (the structure of Git for Windows' SDK does not lend itself to code mode, but e.g. for the minimal SDK we use in our CI/PR build we definitely need a subset of the otherwise too-clunky SDK), I am very much in favor of making cone-mode the default.
