Yes, combining flexibility and simplicity is the challenge which nobody
has been able to solve yet. Personally, I think plugins/apps is the key
to have a chance to get close to solving this. A simple core with
support for add-ons, where some users choose to only use the core and
other users want the flexibility and install some add-ons.
But this poll is about what would make it easier to recommend a
Squeezebox to your friends which don't own a Squeezebox, I'll add a
separate poll later on regarding what features that would make existing
users buy another Squeezebox and I suspect that poll result is going to
be a bit different from this poll. I just wanted to wait a bit with
this as I'd like to adapt the poll options based on what users answers
in the existing polls.
