I disagree. I see that something _could_ become less usable as people |

remove more and more features to make it easier to learn, but that's |
| 15 |
certainly not a requirement. |

As the saying goes, make the common tasks easy and the uncommon ones |
| 18 |
possible. Making common tasks easier doesn't necessarily decrease |
| 19 |
usability of the whole. |
