While I do not agree with this global verdict, I do so with your main  
point. In fact, your examples show one thing: there are too many options.  
That's not a UI problem ;-). (BTW: Most of the parameters you list have  
been asked for by users)

A simplified view on the settings would indeed do some good to the  
slimserver.

I'll have a look at this.

You could give my NoSetup plugin a chance: it will hide all settings  
pages. As this is all you're complaining about, it might solve your  
problem :-).
