[IxDA Discuss] Simplicity (again)

[Chris Bernard]

I think Joel on Software does much better on articulating simplicity.

Simplicity is sometimes a judo move. You often can't have a lot of features with a new product anyway. (And please, don't take this observation as some judgment or insight on Blend, different subject).

What do people think about Nussbaum's equation of simplicity with
reduced features? I think he is pretty off the mark here.
