Let's just clarify...

So your argument is:

  "Apple did all the research and has been successful in design before, 
  so you must be wrong if you dislike it."
And your suggestions are:

  1. people should just live without the 88MB
  even if they don't use it.

  2. visually ignore pieces of the ui 
  if you don't use them.

  3. configure your view to be simpler (as 
  opposed to starting simple and configuring 
  your view to be complex)
I think if I stick your response in the un-jerk-ificatilator, the tranlation is:

  "I like those extra features and I bet 
  you could configure your view to be more simple.  
  Maybe Apple could add an easier way than the 
  checkboxes Winamp had.  Have a good day."
Ah, much better.


I never use the Help menu item / feature in any app. But I don't demand that it be removed because of the tyranny of the creator's design decisions which they deem correct for their overall audience.
