Seconding this. We have just started to check all of our numeric fields in our app to see which are set to this and which are not. Keeping this consistent through all the fields makes formulas easier for them since you don't have to check and see what the field is set to. If it is set to treat blanks as 0 and you do a formula to check it for null, the formula will not error. It just won't work.
