I don't think there is a good answer to the question "Which options are rarely used". Majority rule will particularly not work in this case. Also, I suspect that many people don't use features as they don't know about them, and hiding them away will make this worse, not better. I vote to keep everything in the settings menus, but reorder them; discussion on reordering should go here: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/MenuLayoutDiscussion FWIW, I've been involved in 2 other apps (at different companies) where it was decided that the configuration was over-complex, and in both cases a "simplified" option (i.e. with some less essential options hidden or made harder to get to) was tried and revoked because it actually increased support calls.
