When writing software, it’s better to very carefully think out how your users should (want) to use your software, rather than providing many different configuration options for them to choose among various sub-optimal methods. I just opened the preferences dialog box of a large piece of software, and was irritated to see how much junk was in there. I think I’d rather not be able to configure what I want, than to have to move through 1000 options trying to find if the one I want exists.
