Huh, why is having more ways do do something (unless it obstructs
something else) a bad thing in itself? I mean, if you only have a
manual way of doing something and you add a shortcut, would that LOWER
usability? I mean, having more ways of doing something increases
discoverability, right, and knowing how to do something one way and
finding out another, where's that bad?
