Actually, this is often not true. Options as a rule are nice but also as a rule add complications and confusion.
This change CAN certainly be nice and allow more flexibility, but there is often a unforseen cost too.
Good example. I once wrote a macro to do some simple repetitive tasks. I enjoyed it, it did it job but I thought it could be made even more useful and I continued to develope and tweek it.
Eventually, it reached a point that I had to read my own documentation to remember how to use it as it had become so all encompasing it was no longer simple to use. Sure, it could do more, but there was a definate trade off.
PS I posted said macro after all this work and as I recall, noone seemed to use it was still to complicated and thus it was useless.
