There's 'simple' and then there's 'spartan'. People don't want simple programs today. They want bells and whistle and stuff that doesn't make them think. They want to be, in effect, 'mindless morons'. In the old days, you had a very simple text program that did every single thing you wanted but you were obliged to remember the command-line options for it. Today they don't want to have to remember anything, they want a button nicely labelled right in front of them to do the exact thing they want.
