I don't like box cursors, blinking or not. They make the
character they cover harder to see.

I like the cursor to blink. It usually makes it easier to
find when I've lost it.

vertical bar - yes always. Much less of an obstruction to
seeing the text I'm working on.

see above answers

Never have wanted to so far. I wouldn't want it to blink
while I was actually typing..but it doesn't. Just when I stop.

Generally speaking, I don't find multiple frames useful unless
I'm on a machine with multiple monitors. I do however use
multiple windows all the time. Only the active window cursor
blinks. I think I would find it quite distracting to have a
cursor blinking in an inactive window.
