As I think about a future upgrade to Office 2007/2010 I am considering very seriously customizing the ribbons down as much as possible and targeting custom ribbons to specific users. At the same time, keeping things simple means that you might lock away features that someone could take advantage of. It is a tight line to make sure you have the correct balance. As for browsers, the number one reason I read for people not switching to Chrome is the lack of features, most specifically the lack of extensibility. I seems that many people think that more is indeed better. I don’t disagree that it is a good idea to keep things simple.

I do agree with you though. We recently built a CRM system in-house and made a conscious decision to keep it really simple in so far as cutting out features that we had already built at the beta test stage. The result has been a better take up than we've had in the past and people have continued to use it. Sure, we'll add new features gradually as the culture accepts what it has now and as the business needs it. But in general, simple = good. Oooh, good rant! I do agree with you though.
