Dexter,

Having any sort of configuration will just pile up and pile up. You
still need to stick to a basic paradigm, like the classic desktop
metaphor or a mobile interface. It's fine to have customizations, but
it is best to be able to have a solid core. Without a clear focus like
TDE has, it's easy to get lost. The are many different use cases and
using a single product for all would result in an a giant bloated
piece of software, without it being remarkable. By having one focus,
we can continue to perfect and improve that, and put our resources to
that end, instead of satisfying everybody - which is inevitably
impossible.
