That, there are things that are great for everything, is a false belief. Everything is compromise. If something is good for everything, it is optimized for nothing. Power users don't want good. The need 100% optimized for purpose, the #1 best. Which, btw, means giving control and power to the user. The UI and design worlds push for the opposite extreme. All control (away from user), scripted, "experience" to the user. Those professions selling point "we know what's best for users". A sentiment which doesn't work for power users.
