New Not a matter of eliminating options...
...or even in hiding them. It's about layers of configurability and building a user interface to manage them.

Seen on the /. discussion of Torvalds outspokenness: "Emacs would be a far better OS if it shipped with a halfway-decent text editor."

Imric's Tips for Living
  • Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
  • Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
  • Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.


Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.
