For many things there are options and advanced options. Windows has sometimes done a good job on dialog boxes of distinguishing these, e.g. the network setup where if you check DHCP you don't have to fool with the gateways and DNS addresses (unless you want to) and you aren't confused by their presence when it doesn't concern you as a simple user.

Full ACK. The same is _sometimes_ true for Drupal. That's why I always vote for "make it an option" instead of "remove it" or "don't implement it".
