I agree that it's hard to trim down the feature set you want a team to use, but for individual development it is really nice. I like building a solution to my problem and whittling it down to clear and concise code. The resulting can be information dense if you let it, but I like it.

But I appreciate the concept of expending a lot of thought on a minimal amount code that is easy to read.
