Different people want the interface to look different. Rather than wasting
time with endless arguments over who gets "their way," just let everybody
see what they want to see. Everybody wins when the interface can be
customized.

I've been told the Firefox community used to be held up by flamewars over
tabs -- specifically, when we close an open tab, which tab displays next?
One camp wanted to display the next tab to the right; another camp wanted to
traverse to the left; still a third camp wanted to remember the order in
which tabs had been selected, and move to the most recently selected tab. In
my opinion, all three of these groups missed the point: all three options
have followings and are apparently legitimate, and it's more productive to
just allow the user to choose their preferred method.

Saves time. Saves drama. Lets us all get on with writing an encyclopedia.

Why is that a problem?
