To be honest, I do not subscribe to the 'less is more' approach wrt to
user preferences. As long as they are logically structured (and I agree
we can always do better there) imho, it does not hurt to have one more
option available.

However, I do think less is more with the main user interface (ie, the
one you are hopefully mainly using). And I think our defaults are a
little of. For example we show every dock we have on a clean install
while I would prefer we show two at most.

Likewise, one day we will need to rethink the properties dock.
For example i think having lat/lon displayed for a node is not
necessary and clutters the screen. Better to move the functionality to
see/change a node's position (something I do very rarely) to some
seperate dialog box with 'extended' editing.

Btw, I think an extended guided editing dialog box is imho the number
one feature missing. Admittedly I base this on a use sample of one -> 
my father
who has limited interest in understanding the detailed MapFeatures page
but who still would enter more details like speed limits opening hours
and what not if he would get a simple line edit in which he can type
60 kph.

Sorry, that way lies madness imho :)
