Interesting. Classic UX rule is "make the hard choice, kill the setting" but a more nuanced version is make the hard choice, pick a good default. The reason it's tricky is that settings can cascade so a reasonable default can become impossible. You can't make it all settings

Hmmmm... The more I think about it, the more settings about fonts, skins, layout and keyboard mapping should be "damn near everything". It's the behavioral settings that seem the most challenging/hard to allow "anything goes"

It reminded me of something you posted (which I can’t find), which was layers of old Windows underneath new Windows.

I wonder sometimes if the answer is a lot of settings, but with context. Tell me not just what I’m changing, but try to help me figure out how it will affect my work or how it matters.

Example:”Scrolling direction: natural is how you use your phone, the other one is useful if you’re familiar with the mouse.”

Interesting you'd choose this example. Previous tweet on it: https://twitter.com/scottjenson/status/897917225541148673?s=19 … Given the craziness number of layered settings, I could not get what I wanted
