@survey I like it when advanced software intentionally differentiates between advanced users and inadvanced users; E.g. having the basic settings in the settings window but then having a section labeled "Additional settings" or "Advanced settings".
I also think it's a good idea to make dangerous settings only available in e.g. config files; that way, hopefully a lot of the users who shouldn't touch them are excluded if they don't put in a bit of effort.
