Too simple? As in, keep it difficult and obscure, so that everyone who comes
to it has to struggle like we did? So we can keep out the Windoze riff-raff?
It should be possible to achieve both elegance and simplicity. Linux is
already powerful. If Gnome has the opportunity to make it simple and
straightforward to configure and use, without sacrificing that power, it
should do so. Failing to do so can only hurt us in the long run.
