@Seirdy @aburka But then some dingus software developer decides Everything Must Be Trivially Customizable and we wind up with nightmare applucations where one misclick or accidental keystroke upends the whole UI with no way to recover and no way to lock down the UI to protect against accidental mangling.

I want someone who understands the purpose of their tool to build it so that its primary workflow is sensible and coherent and doesn't put the burden of UI design on me. I use a tool, it works in a reasonable way for what I'm doing; if it doesn't, I uee a tool that does and ideally I never waste time configuring it. I actively don't want to be customizing my tools - that's the toolmaker's job, not mine. I resent having unwanted flexibility, genericity, and abstraction forced on me when all I want it a well thought out tool that dependably works as expected. YMMV.
