GNOME has the image in the Linux community of being simplistic or featureless due to its preference not to add an option for everything under the sun. Why does GNOME not use an Advanced button to hide pickier settings keeping the regular user's experience the clean GNOME look which is desired?
Ignoring for now the ins and outs of when best to use them (mainly because we haven't written anything into the HIG about them yet!), in general we prefer to use a disclosure triangle (aka an expander widget), with a more specific label than "Advanced".
