Oh and then there is the 80-20 rule:
80% of the features of an "usual" application are only needed in 20% of the 
cases. So the 20% that are used 80% of the time should be easily accessible, the 
rest should be in some "advanced" GUI (advanced-settings, -toolbar, -plasmoids).

What these 20%/80% are can be detected by usage data.
