The point is that simple is simple, it is dealing with the
exceptions/corner cases/etc that things get complex. While an individual
user may want only simple, the developers have to think about the user
community as a whole and that is where the complexity comes in. Whether
that is worthy or not is the point of your request and really depends on
more input.
