My guess is that it’s like that because of some programmers that are new to Roblox’s version of Lua most likely won’t start developing in FE and thus they’ll be confused when his/her script breaks.

They don’t show non-FE games on the front page anymore. I thought it was the new standard?

Developing with FE is definitely encouraged but not everyone knows how to program in an FE environment.

Interesting. Maybe you’re right then.

I have to agree with the op, definitely should be the standard. Even if it’s easier to use I’d argue it’s worse for new users to begin learning using bad practice. There’s no reason to ever make a Non-FE game so there’s no reason to learn the bad practices associated with having it disabled, especially when you’re just getting started in roblox/game development.

It shouldn’t be enabled on default for everyone, but it should definitely be a setting that developers can toggle, so that the default will be true for any new places they create.

I think it should be enabled by default. To prevent a new developer from working on a game, and then being forced to go back and change everything to respect filtering. If this is a Roblox Standard, it should retain an option to disable it, but it shouldn’t be off by default.
