I have watched this talk movie [David Pogue says "Simplicity sells"] at TED conferance and i think you should watch it. It's about designing software in simple and intelligent way.

He will be singing at first but it's funny.
There are a few translated subtitles.

Nobody have watched the video?

Personally, I like KDE's approach of, "sane defaults with lots of choice". It means that the average user can use the desktop comfortably strait away, while people that want to change things can change them to the n^th degree.
I also like how the KDE team has made changing the configuration itself easy: the Gnome way is to have a great big menu with vague-ish options, leaving you searching for the setting you want for at least half an hour. KDE? All desktop settings are in one place. They're all clearly labelled and, if you still can't figure out where what you want is, you get helpful tooltips and a search bar.

This idea lacks a concrete solution and is thus not valid. If the solution is described in a video, please post a summary in the first post.

Let me add up, it also lacks a concrete problem, e.g. what is wrong with the current approach.

The idea is about right approach for developing software. Being concious about developing software. I am not saying that something is wrong but you have to have on mind how it is important to develop software in intelligent way.
