My take from this is:

Know your users.

Know what features they use the most and make those prominent. Every other feature is noise.

Don't hide stuff for UI / design / style sake. Use #2 point to make that decision.

Make it extremely easy for power users to decide what features they want to show.

Last point not mentioned in the article.

Customizability comes with a price - it makes it easy to screw things up.

So include a UI reset button - either globally or for categories.
