Sure. I completely agree with what you say. We cannot fulfill every possible
need. When I say "much more flexibility" it is meant "within reasonable
limits". Those limits are not only set by programming difficutly or
restrictions of any kind but also has to be looked into from the user
perspective, keeping in mind "usability". "Usability" will fatally oppose to
"flexibility" at some point. Too much possibilities will go against ease of
use, intuitiveness and in the end, overall usability.
