Although I can understand why you make that last statement,
Manuel, I am not convinced that it is true.  Seamonkey (for
example) has an extremely large number of options, some
of them available only through an "Advanced" button, yet
it seems to be usable without difficulty by a large number
of people on multiple platforms.
