Description
The default QGIS install (2.12) doesn't include R/W access to ESRI FileGBs (it used to and it go dropped about 2.8). Given the popularity of Arc* products, shipping this should be part of the basic functionality of QGIS.
Here is a great example of another user frustrated with the same issue:

Default Windows install includes the open filegdb driver, which is read only

using the osgeo4w installer you can install the driver based on the esri api/sdk, that also allow editing

I just tested on Windows/OSGeo4W with ESRI samples and it is ok

Uhh, you missed my point. I want the default to innclude the ESRI API/SDK driver so that people can edit flegdb without going through the massive pain of installing via the advanced installer.
