When a user start to use Processing - they are not any longer beginners :-)

Emne: Re: [Qgis-developer] Simplified Processing interface doesn't list GRASS 
algos

The idea of the simplified interface was to have an interface that was more 
understandable for users with less experience, so you do not have to know if 
the algorithm comes from GRASS, SAGA or whatever. That might be useful for 
advanced users, but it is confusing for the rest of them.

Also, if an algorithm is repeated in several backends, only one of them is 
added to the simplified interface, eliminating the need to select one of them 
(also confusing for users)

GRASS algorithms are not featured in the simplified interface since, although 
they are wrapped as Processing algorithms and simplified as much as possible, 
you still have to know something about GRASS and its data structures to use 
them correctly and not get strange behaviour.
If you want to use a GRASS, algorithm, I am assuming you are an advanced user, 
so you can go to the advanced interface.

These were my initial ideas, but if the simplified interface is causing more 
confusion than good....I will be happy to take it away (it will save us devs 
quite a bit of work...). However, IMHO, it is a much better UI for most of 
user, but I would like to hear what people think.

Thanks for your comments!
