Change default to `virtualenvs.in-project = true`

See original GitHub issue

I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate.
I have searched the documentation and believe that my question is not covered.

Feature Request

The config virtualenvs.in-project should be defaulted to true at installation. Personally, I did this almost every single time.

On my local, codespaces, and many dockerfiles are set POETRY_VIRTUALENVS_IN_PROJECT=true. If the 80% always changes it every single time, why don’t we consider make it a new default.

I can honestly live with either but I do have a preference for in-project venvs as it is much less surprising for developers that are new to Python, or just developers that are new to poetry. It also mimics other similar tools in Python (tox) and in the SW community (npm, etc…)

As long we can switch between them I think the question really is “who is the default for”? Is it “for users who don’t want to configure anything”? In that case the answer should coincide with what most users do Is it “for developers who don’t yet understand the intricacies”? In that case the answer should coincide with what they would expect. etc…

Hi, is this issue going to be resolved somehow? I personally also vote in favour of default in-project virtualenv which I consider more convenient.
