Martin's Personal Comment About OS/2 GUI

While people like Steve Jobs said "Less is More" to simplify the user customization of the GUI, I personally don't think we need to follow that opinion. We need to have options and several ways of customizing the GUI, we don't need to think that the user is dumb and will get overwhelmed with choices. OS/2 has always offered you customization choices even of some one has the opinion it is too complex. Even if you feel like it is too much, it is better to have that choice and let the user decide how dumb is he to use or not that feature. "More is More", that's all.
