I agree that "we shouldn't customize things because they're difficult
decisions to make" but I think we should be able to customize
everything. In other words, we shouldn't use customizability as an
excuse for not having good defaults.

I think GNOME should be made for advanced users, but not be too dificult
to learn. Although now maybe most people are newbies, for how long do
you think they will be newbies? :)

As it is, gnomecc will be very clutered if we add too many things. It
should be changed. (Yes there was a lot of discussion on in a while
back)
