Armature Default Viewport-Visibility

when creating a rig/armature, you set the viewport visibility to front for 99% of the time. Doesn't it make sense if this is the default setting?!

its better than you get used to using the Xray for armature at the top, is much easier to setup, and also this is only true for creating armatures, when animating you want to switch constantly.

* @Luciano A. Muñoz Sessarego * you're right, I forgot about the Xray mode, in Softimage, that's what I do, I have probably seen too many RiggingTutorials! there it is usually done first, I'm gonna have to give up the habit, thanks and awesome work by the way

* @Luciano A. Muñoz Sessarego * I still stick to my original statement, i think every rigger will set the display to front first, so to improve the long term, the default setting should be a front armature, after rigging the rigger will change it back to front when he knows the rest of the procedure. X-ray is more likely to be used later to get a better overview of the process and to get a better overview of the rigging process.

i have now spent a lot of time with rigging, and yet I am of the opinion that it would make sense
