    A good DM need to strike a balance between configurability and ergonomy/ease of use.

    As a novice user I loved to tweak the many configuration options, but it’s time consuming and often lead to something worse than the default, leading to further tweaking.

    Now I appreciate good defaults because that means there’s few settings that needs tweaking.

    Some DMs like early Gnome 3 releases went a bit too far removing configuration options, and have been slowly adding them back over several years.
