I’m curious what are some products that successfully do this? I honestly can’t think of any at the top of my head.

To me, more features and ease of usability can’t coexist. There must be compromises. I’ve heard the argument that it’s possible by hiding the advanced features, and I would agree in the short term. But internally, as teams grow and have to maintain multiple documentations noting depreciations, it creeps on the user’s end. It becomes harder to read documentation and there’s also the burden of trying to understand what it’s for because it was something that replaced a previous feature which I don’t have context for.

Please add features responsibly, and stop rewarding new features that seem helpful in a handful of use cases. But who am I kidding here
