Really? I thought it was always about making everything work so that
it was not _necessary_ to tweak it, which of course doesn't mean that
people would not _want_ to tweak it.

Most stuff that people seem to want in terms of flexibility tend to be
indeed stuff they would _prefer_ instead of really _need_ (and thus
any reply with "no, it works fine this way" causes them to get annoyed
and start throwing the "usability" word around ;).

Focus on getting to the goal and the tool to get there will be
insignificant (as it should be).
