Hi!
To be honest I like the view of QGIS being a simple tool for simple
tasks. But nevertheless sometimes I have to use a bit more complicated
tools to reach my goal.
I see how fast QGIS develops now and I'm curious what the future will bring.
Stick with the roots is ok - but never forget that anything is evolving
and so does QGIS.
I personally like to see QGIS able to view 3D Data and not only stuck to
2D. Maybe thats a high goal to set but - we all have dreams ;)
So for the question of advanced or not advanced .. what about enabling
advanced options with a klickmark in the options dialog?
To have default QGIS just with easy to use options and show a new
"advanced" menu (like ftools menu) when advanced features are wanted..
That would be my kind of solution.
regards
Werner

Its great that we are adding advanced features but we
should remember our 'roots' in being an easy to learn, easy to use GIS.
Part of that is achieved through keeping UI complexity to a minimum.
You are right when you say what our roots have been. But with the time the amount of new features grows rapidly. QGIS is matured to a Desktop-GIS system with a wide spread of potential users, with the claim from very easy to use up to advanced user. I believe that we can satify both user groups. Disable digitizing - as an advanced feature - will make QGIS to an easy to use Desktop-GIS. Yes in my opinion digitizing is an advanced feature at all. Thus I think there are no conflicts between easy to use and pull down buttons or short cuts etc.

Horst
