This is the feedback you need to take to your product managers and marketing people:Long Tail
I think QuickBase does a pretty good job of selecting defaults and prioritizing features. But too many decisions and product affordances are being hard-coded into the product based on some type of 80/20 Pareto Principle analysis. Users want greater ability to customize the product for reasons that may never be apparent to you or for no reason at all.

The theory of the Long Tail is that our culture and economy is increasingly shifting away from a focus on a relatively small number of "hits" (mainstream products and markets) at the head of the demand curve and toward a huge number of niches in the tail.

Today I learned about the Pareto_principle
Based upon this principle I have chosen to speak up when I see something that is not a standard or expected based upon my very limited experience as a User and a Consumer - I define myself as the 20%. If ignored I will abandon this forum and application; voting with my dollars. Until then I will contribute as best I can and do what I can to support the Community.
While I find the majority of issues can be glossed over once experience converts my mind. I believe it is essential that developers get feedback lest they wander off into distant fields in between trips to reddit.
It is much appreciated that my message was heard and two of the four pinned items are gone. It is a compromise and I am all about compromises.
