Or not remove the configuration utility, in some cases. No one here asked for telepathy and amazing defaults, but take away my configurability and I get upset.

- chrisseaton 5y agoThink about it like this - every single extra simple boolean configuration option doubles the configuration state space of the program. Add just ten option checkboxes for a feature and you have made the system three-orders of magnitude more complicated. Everyone pays for that complexity.
- hutzlibu 5y agoIn reality this added complexity is not always so dramatic, when you have a solid architectural base. And I believe Windows for example has one. And windows still runs fine for me without cortana for example. But I have to resort to hacks, to make that change. So I do not demand more features here. I demand just more control, what features I want to use. That was there and is getting removed for other purposes than complexity of developement.
