Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Re: Simple/Complex
There's always some option the gets put in advanced that some basic or intermediate user will be looking for but now they have to look in 3 different places for it.
As opposed to looking in a completely different application altogether, using a non-intuitive interface to look for an obscurely named property that may or may not do what you want it to do depending on if you get the right code in the box or not.

Some people don't like being thought of as "basic" users even when they really are and will turn on the advanced option so they don't fee; short-changed on available features.
Uh, right. Penis envy via config dialogs. I think the person who came up with that one probably eats way too much pizza and bursts into flame if he accidentally exposes himself to the sun.

Advanced ends up being a huge KDEesque mess anyways.
Sure, if you can't be bothered. And how is this any worse than gconf?

I swear, gconf has turned into the ultimate alibi. Just throw it in there and see if it sticks! You don't have to bother with actual thought!

Thanks for the reply.
