Honestly I think this guy misses the point. A lot of the extreme minimalism we see today is more about visual aesthetics rather than a clean designed meant to make an application easy to use. A messy interface is NOT a good thing. What the author seems to try to imply is that minimal interfaces means you lack of functionality or capability. That is a misconception. It is perfectly possible to make complex interfaces with few features or simple interfaces with lots of features. You can e.g. simplify a interface by making it easy to combine functionality and you can complicate it by making lots of overlapping functionality which can't combine. Another way to make something complex without adding features is to always display all possible actions even when they are not relevant for the task you are presently doing. Clean interfaces strive towards only showing the actions relevant to what you are presently doing.
