Because that makes the gui bloated. A gui with an option for everything
and anything is simply confusing and useless.

But that is not true, user options are by no mean a "delicate subject".
I am not against all options, but if someone sends a patch that
implements an option that doesn't fit, I don't see why I would accept
it. I am just keeping the project in sync with the global vision.

Again that doesn't mean the option is "bad", but it simply doesn't fit.

Every people who sends patch knows that, sometimes patches get accepted
sometimes not... I am not taking it mainstream, but someone else may
like it and use it.

Cheers,
Olivier.
