Use tiledLayout tight or compact for better aesthetic.

The default background color (gray) is not optimal for me, it prevents quick copy-paste to documents. I always do a set(gcf,'Color',[1 1 1]) when I create a figure.
In my opionion default LineWidth for plots could also be set to 2, and default FontSize could also be increased (to 12 for example).
Current default values are just not friendly for copy-pasting in documents or slides.
Community, do you agree?

Have you tried using the Figure Copy Template in Preferences (I see it in 24b). I have not actively used it, but it does have some of the preferences you mention. It could benefit from having even more figure options, including margins!

+1 I started using the copy option in the figure menu or I call copygraphics directly. This removes background color and often results in a higher resolution than 3rd party screenshot apps.

Are you asking about the default margins for figure windows in release R2024b, those in the release R2025a prerelease, or just in general in whichever release the voter is using?

Whichever version the user is using is ok. I presume that the majority of responses will be for 24b since 25a is still under pre-release. The point of the poll is to get a general feel for how users think about this point.
Based on an analysis by @Steve Eddins (see comments on this thread), the larger default figure size in 25a and the lack of change to the default axes units means that default margins are larger in 25a.

Just right on the generous side.
