this is just the point, where not only opinions, but far more crash. I'd call it a kind of user generations conflict: the "earlier ones" were used to: "either you
learn how to do it or just go away" - that was the
prize of using a computer. Just as getting a driver's license is the prize to pay for driving a car. *sigh* unfortunately it's the point of view of a group of users getting percentually smaller as time passes by...
It's just like with these support wheels on a kid's bike or the backside of a wheelchair - as long as you are not a good driver they are supportive - when you passed a certain level of experience they become a hindering nuissance.
Usually I'd just say, when you're happy with em, keep 'em, but for God's sake gimme a wrench to take them off from
my device.
and that's the problem with some of these "new and shiny" devices - you can't take this little pestilent addon-wheels off anymore... This is actually the point driving the experienced users up the barricades - not the fact that "user-friendly-acces" to the device exists, but the fact, that the freedom to choose or DIY is taken away.
