"dumbed down" only improves the user experience of new users. It hurts power users and is rarely useful to anyone other than newbs. It can be net gain for infrequently used and rarely mastered tools. Source Control should the 2nd (after editor) most mastered tool of a developer. Many will assume this is "dumbed down" interface and thus overall bad for source control tool. |

That's only true if the power users perform a completely different group of tasks from the new users, or if the "new user" interface is made wholly incompatible with the "power user" interface.
If the power users still needs to perform the same basic tasks, the simplified and easier interface will likely make those tasks more efficient for the power user as well.
