It is a cliché worth recalling when designing software. Ninety percent
of users, it is said, use ten percent of the features in a software
package. For that vast majority of “average users,” the other ninety
percent of the features only add needless complexity that make the key
ten harder to learn. These extra features simply serve to increase the
TCO of software deployments and headaches at the helpdesk, not
productivity of the business.
