I totally agree with your 2 point. I always turn off turbolink too when I start a new rails project!

I didn't use rails since turbolinks appeared, but I really like the idea on paper. Why do you turn it off?
By default it's a global always-on feature. I think it's the sort of feature that might be great in certain parts of the application (like tabbed pages) but having globally enabled by default isn't ideal. For me the built-in browser feedback of loading a new page works pretty well, and having to rebuild this feedback in an application so that it works everywhere is simply unnecessary work.
Yeah, exactly. I think the very existence of this site also kind of sums up the problem: http://reed.github.io/turbolinks-compatibility/
