Personally i can live with a toggle-able global chat, however, something i sorely missed in the DF beta was chat bubbles.
Some people don't like them (for weird reasons imo) so i definitely think they should be optional but for me they go a long way toward being able to have conversations with the people that you randomly meet.
I've never enjoyed simply looking at a chat interface when I'm actually standing face to face with the person im talking too.
(its fine for guild banter and such, but physical meetings should be a little different imo).
