> Not having default looks like it would reduce a lot of complexity

I don't really a see "a lot of complexity" in the way Konsole works now.  The only complexity having a customisable default adds is a single button in the Manage Profiles dialog.

Ultimately when Konsole starts up it needs to get the settings for the first terminal from somewhere and I think it makes sense to allow users to choose that 'somewhere'.

> an advanced user could still replicate the functionality we have now

Profiles are really only of interest to heavy terminal users.  Light users will set Konsole up the way they like it during the first few times they use it and then leave the settings alone thereafter.

> I cannot really see a use case for that though. 

I can.  I have profiles for doing certain types of work (eg. KDE Development).  When I find myself doing that a lot for a period of time then I can make that the default for a while, still keeping the standard "Shell" around for when it is needed.
