The usability of UI is directly proportional to quality of users' mental model of what the application's doing. Minimalism can be helpful for removing the "magic." I like the way Google Docs has evolved their UI. They started matching the feature set of desktop applications. Slowly, they have removed and simplified features, leading to a beautifully minimal yet powerful interface for typesetting and writing documents.
