Please remember that not all geeks share your sentiment. I really prefer ephy because it's gotten rid of all the crap that I don't need and made it easier to find the options that I do.

I'm almost sad that they've just put in the classic bookmark system - I've found that I don't even miss it (although I wish bookmark lookups weren't case-sensitive).

I don't know if they did this in 0.7, but I think they could safely remove even more preferences - All the colour things (IMO) should be theme related. Background and foreground are easy enough to pull off, but links and visited links ought to carry between every app anyway.

Also - I install Debian GNU/Linux on all sorts of peoples machines - (like my ministers!), and it's nice to be able to guide them through the preferences menu without having them go into a panic because there's too many complicated options.

I don't know if it's there somewhere, but I was thinking yesterday that a command-line gconf editor would be nice as a geek addition to gnome. Since everything's supposed to take effect immediately when gconf changes things, I think it could be cool if I could help change a users settings remotely through a simple, sane, curses interface. The idea needs to be thought out more, but that could bring this into the realm of systems I could put my Grandmother on - She DOES need customisation (because of the usual elderly accessibility things), but I can't expect her to enable them.
