Hear, hear. > The point is that the developers should make the most reasonable > choice This mindset will not help LO broaden its user base. Users (even if most are apparently deemed stupid by some) should be in the driving seat and not some anonymous "developers". Pip Coburn writes this about the tech industry: "I believe that users are always in charge and that supply is a necessary but not sufficient condition for commercial success. Companies and products geared toward this holistic user orientation will succeed at far greater rates than those stuck in a supplier-oriented mind-set." As far as I'm concerned that hits the nail squarely on the head. And as to confusing users with complex choices... a well-designed system can be simple for simple needs and complex for complex needs. One-size-fits-all rarely fits anyone.
