Default Location for new Documents shouldn't be iCloud
Apple's iCloud is great! It works well, it behaves rather sanely, I've had no sync issues so far etc.
However, I don't want to store the vast majority of my documents on iCloud. I keep them organised in folders, either on my workstation or on Dropbox. I occasionally save a Numbers or Pages on iCloud, but not often.
Yet, by default, a lot of Mac Apps think I want to save my documents on iCloud.
I found out there is a setting you can flip to disable that behaviour. So gentlemen and gentlewomen, start your engines, I mean your Terminal.app and issue the following magic command:
defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSDocumentSaveNewDocumentsToCloud -bool false
Et voila ... sanity restored!
