>>The programmer implements all those options in a configuration panel, the user looks at it saying "uh... too complicated"

A good example of this is: Reflection Workspace vs Putty

I know which one i'd choose (between the two, assuming cygwin wasn't an option). There absolutely is such a thing as too much. Although with Putty, I'd never complain about its simplicity -- it has just enough.

Just google the user docs for "Reflection Workspace" if you've never used it. Maybe there are more uses to it, but for the work place I mentioned above, it was 100% just a means of connecting with ssh.
