I do think we need some paren-matching enabled by default.
I'm surprised blink-matching-paren can elicit such strong sentiments,
since I myself find it very nice, providing just enough info to be
useful (including when the open paren is out of sight) without getting
in the way (you can just ignore the cursor-jump if you don't care about
it).

Just a guess, but the window-handling can "mess up" without it being
a bug, so the "something different from what I'd expect" may still be
"the right choice" in general.
