For most of your users creating a new password will be much less secure than giving them a password.

It is hard to do. That's why so many people reuse passwords, or have hopelessly weak passwords. (Some word with a few vowels swapped for digits, or some word with two digits tacked on the end.)

I agree that sending passwords over email is sub-optimal, but the solution is not to surprise users with a password creation screen.
