@simulo I vote for the latter. This reminds me of the "Jetway test" in Alan Cooper's book "The inmates are running the asylum". Some people always prefer to have full control over each single setting and others prefer to simplify their thinking and have confidence in the default settings. (1/2)

@simulo To that developer: The UX rule #1 is "You are not the user" - so stop burdening users with thousands of settings because you consider this your freedom. Unless users are bored or in a playful mood, they use software to achieve their goal, not to play with fancy settings and enjoy a developer's particular notion of freedom. (2/2)
