Thanks for posting this. A novice might not see the usefulness of those additional features. But a good artist uses the right tools at the right times, and that obscure filter might do exactly what you want (usually in combination with some other filter). There's a market for programs that are simplified and dumbed down to the lowest common denominator, and there's a market for pro-tools bloated with features. Pros really like to get into a program, and for it to be as powerful as possible.
