Obviously, the program was made for people who find it helpful. If you don’t need it, the nice thing is you don’t have to download it!

I would like for the program to have a “dumbass mode” available, which only displays the safest customizations…

If you found a web page that tells you what to do, then that is great. You knew what you wanted and went out and got it. The real value here is in making the options very visible so you don’t have to go out looking for them.

I don’t know why people much such an issue of clicking a button as opposed to issuing a command. Heck, if it *that* important, on OS X copy-and-paste works in the Terminal, so no typing need be involved.

So if the user finds he needs to write to defaults after consulting an Apple support document — say this one:

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303796

all he need do is click once with the mouse in front of the command, once after it with the shift key held down (to highlight), press command+C (to copy), switch to Terminal and press Command+V (to paste). Really, how “hard” is that?

IMO, that is better than installing third-party software for something that you *can already do* with the default installation. Installation of software always raises issues of trust with regards to both quality and security [1]. (And, if it doesn’t, users have become too blasé for their own good.) Installing, say, Photoshop or Microsoft Office, which offer significant new functionality is one thing; installing something to do what the system already does (and more elegantly and economically) for itself seems crazy to me.

[1] And the last time this software was mentioned at TUAW, some posters *did* say it had caused their machines problems.
