It should be excepetion of this rule for New vector layer (menu Layer->New 
vector layer), because if someone add NEW (=empty) vector layer it is surely 
because of creating some new features so it should be set editable by 
default.

I think the Identify dialog edit attribute feature is really useful in some 
cases. For example I have several maps (map layers) with geometries only 
(from original source it was unable to export database with attributes so 
there is empty attribute table only). Now if I want to fill attributes I just 
click at desired feature and fill in the values for features in current view 
only. If the attribute value would be the only way how to fill in attributes 
this task would get much more difficult.
