Ahem, you are the one that suggests that in order to drive a car you should first build a road, not Steven! That said, why should I care about the choices and steps I have for creating main windows and the possibilities I get from doing this myself? A basic default main window is enough for me! Further, choice implies I can make wrong choices, too, so forcing someone to make a decision might cause errors.
