You have no idea what may and will confuse users nowadays.
In the past I've added more features to my products based on user input 
and requests. But now I'm tempted to make only the most basic one, 
without any user settings, simplicity level for pre-school kids.
I'm in this busiess for over 20 years and every now and then I'm being 
surprised how unaware and clueless the users may be.
