I wouldn't like to have "controller" in the view namespace so we'll  
have to find
a replacement for "Default".

In general we should really try hard to avoid a default controller at  
all and therefore
the future kickstarter shouldn't create one (but rather create a  
controller based on
an important model such as the Blog).

"IndexController" wouldn't really hit the nail because the controller  
is not indexing
something or displays (only) and index. There's also no "Index" model  
it refers to.
Therefore I think that "StandardController" is more logical.

However, if other frameworks have chosen "IndexController" already and  
it turns out
to be more intuitive for most of you, that would be a reason to choose  
it as well.
