I agree. Actually the fact that fancy is not the default got me confused. First I didn't even realise that there are different diary modes. I tried to get some features working but couldn't. I gave up but then later understood to turn on the fancy mode. Maybe all this is documented somewhere but this is how I found the difference between the two diary modes.
