Well, there is actually nothing in the mac Human Interface Guidelines which says "you must remove functionality", it says things like do not confuse the user, don't start options with the negative etc...I absolutely DISPISE the Mac Interface, for ONE reason: it's too rigid. I think it's great that all the applications look and feel pretty much the same. Consistency is good. OTOH, *I* have a way that I work best, and I'd like to set up _MY_ interface to work the way _I_ want it to, not the way _the programmer_ thought it should work. Hense, I want options to control EVERY LITTLE DETAIL of the interface.
I do have a suggestion to add here:
The preferences tabs would be easier to understand if they each contained a text field at the top explaining what was controlled by the options in that particular tab.
I do tend to agree that with reorganization, nothing needs to be removed from the preferences, unless it is actually unused.
Just my 2 cents,
Peter
