It would seem:

1: Every non-silly combination of shape and blinkability of the cursor is
needed and loved by some people, and equally hated by other people.

2: Once a user has found his favourite cursor setup, he never wants to
change it.

3: gnu.emacs.help participants don't, on the whole, mind writing simple
lisp into their .emacses.
