I think I agree with just about everything in this post and also with Mario's suggestion to put it in the wishlist forum.

I can also, though, understand PGM's perspective... Every change one makes for the good risks breaking something. That can be particularly true of software that's been around a long time and has had many people contributing to it. People know their own areas of the code, but not necessarily how other areas interact with it. There's also the old adage, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". The difficulty is often more in deciding what's broken, or if it's really broken. With many of these things, "broken" is a perception with which one may or may not not agree.

A corollary to that is of being "too close to program". They know where and how to get to and use features, because they do it all the time for years. They know from experience to just avoid the trap doors. The same is true of experienced users ... they automatically do things in the ways that work, subconsciously avoiding the things that don't. I make no criticism by that; it's just what happens.

I think I'll stop there, before I start rambling on about other issues within the whole.
