I'm a fan of removing features when the feature is not currently done well and we aren't going to do it well anytime soon, if ever. Products with fewer high quality features are superior in many ways to products with many low quality features.

Hi!
This leads to an interesting marketing possibility, and one that I have seen in action only a few times: the idea that a subsequent release of a product might be smaller or have fewer features than the previous
version,
and that this property should be considered a selling point. Perhaps the market is not mature enough to accept it yet, but it remains a promising and classic ideal — less is more.
Apple is doing it from time to time, and is not shy about it. I'm not sure I personally am a big fan, but it works for many people.
