I must say that I agree strongly with this point of view.
More choice is *always* better. The hard part is presenting this
choice to the user in a way it doesn't overwhelm her/him.
I have the strong suspicion that the "less choice is good" movement
we are seeing stems from being too lazy (or at a loss) wrt thinking
hard about how to guide the user through a rich set of choices. The
latter would be, in my view, the right thing to do.
