I guess with this last mail, you have made your point finally clear.
There is in fact a distinction between hating and disliking, but I had
(at least at first) altogether the impression that you thought that
any app could go around without a preference menu item!
You know what, I did say that in my first post and I'm taking it back. I
was wrong. There's indeed plenty of tweaks that can perfectly live in a
preference panel and make the app more customizable and enjoyable to
use. I think Alec's examples convinced me that my initial "no prefs"
stance was incorrect.
I still think we should have as little as possible and think hard when
putting something there though. I promise to be on the lookout for those
sneaky prefs... ;)
