It is a cliché worth recalling when designing software. Ninety percent 
of users, it is said, use ten percent of the features in a software 
package. For that vast majority of “average users,” the other ninety

ten harder to learn. These extra features simply serve to increase the 
TCO of software deployments and headaches at the helpdesk, not 
productivity of the business.
