Personally I think of the Assistant as 'beginner', and anything to do with
bracketing or XYZ mosaics as 'expert', i.e. things that should be well
hidden unless you go looking for them. Everything else in the GUI is
relevant to tweaking stuff that happens behind the scenes of the Assistant.
As a relative beginner (and I haven't been able to compile older versions of
hugin on my system (Suse 11.4) so wait for someone more experienced), I do
bracketing and XYZ mosaics and did those nearly from day one of using hugin so
I don't think that they should disappear to be dragged from the depths when
required. It took me ages to realise that an XYZ mosaic wasn't a pano in
strict terms.
The transition from Beginner to Advance of Hugin will be much faster for someone
that is already an Advanced user of computers. Most Linux users especially
anyone that is compiling or attempting to compile applications on their system
is an Advanced computer user.
As an Expert in shooting and stitching panoramas I would prefer to see a simple
GUI unless I want to use some of advanced technique.
This was why I suggested the name Simple instead of Beginner. The idea is to
show as few controls that are necessary to do the most common simple stitching.
If a user wants to use an advanced shooting technique, like not keep the camera
rotated around the NPP then they will need the Advanced mode to stitch those
images together.
