Let's hear what "most users" have to say on this :)

Looking at my own behavior when I create a table, I can assure you that
I would not use the "More" button very often (once on the primary key
and on columns having a default value). Also it would be in the same
direction as the new 3.4 Export Quick/Custom interface (set to Quick by
default).

We could have a user preference to turn off this behavior.

We already have a similar behavior for ENUM/SET columns (Get more
editing space).
