But that's not a "collect names and addresses" type application. Those

I think one of the biggest frauds perpetrated by the computer industry is the notion that complexity can really be made simple.

If you have to do a complex task, then you need a complex interface to control it. If you can replace the complex interface with something that is significantly simpler, then it can only be for one of two reasons;

A. The task really wasn't that complex, or;
B. You've taken away more control from the user than you should have, and you'll eventually have to restore it using a bunch of kludges that will be uglier than the original complex interface.
