You're not entirely alone in your sentiments towards simplicity. I too prefer elegance to the fullest degree reasonable.

This debate seems utterly related to usability and interaction design. Note that I am not a user interaction or design engineer; I'm a programmer and can implement anything that someone ELSE can design, but I know better than to pretend to be being gifted at layout stuff. Don't we have any design/interaction folks who can (be enticed, cajoled, coerced, etc. to) weigh in on the visual design and use-flow of the interface?
