Personally although I am a strong fan of making MLO much more accessible and mainstream friendly, I see little or no need for that to involve either dumbing down or removal of features. And I worry that such arguments might be used to thwart genuine progress.
Think of it like a motor car. If well designed we can all jump into a new make/model and with only a couple of minutes induction we can pretty much drive off... AND will know the basics of how to brake, steer, corner etc And yet a well designed sophisticated /expensive car will have a number of carefully chosen /powerful /unusual features that one only discovers over time, but which don't really get in the way of the basics. And even where the do, everything is pretty obvious. On 14 Dec 2014 11:55, "Christoph Zwerschke" <[email protected]> wrote: > Am 13.12.2014 um 12:31 schrieb Marcin Marzec: > >> Not necessary.
