I agree for my personal usage, but I do think there's value in trying to make software easier to use for less technically minded users, while ideally still allowing the configurabilty and complexity for power users.
Oh I absolutely agree. I just think a certain amount of problem solving still makes for a better user experience than having everything handed to you on a silver platter. Humans are problem solvers after all. That‘s why many of us „waste“ far more than 20% of our free time on games for example. But yes, it‘s frustrating when silly problems pop up when you already have enough on your plate. Things should generally work and we can all think of programs that are plainly too frustrating to use because the pile of problems is just too big.
