Careful. There's a big difference between "being as easy to use" and
"being as capable as". For instance, I'm sure the pilot of an F-16
wants the plane to be as easy to fly as possible to allow him/her to
concentrate on the engagement, not on the plane itself. Converseley,
the pilot of an F-16 wants his plane *capable* of doing significantly
more than just glide. =)

Putting aliases around commands isn't removing any functionality.
