Well - I completely disagree here.
Neither Flexibility as such is responsible for a steep learning curve, 
nor is it that we provide different ways of doing things for different 
users.

The steep learning curve is just the result of the fact that NONE of the 
different ways we provided in the past was intuitive enough for any of 
the target groups, be it average or power users. Additionally many of 
the methods were inconsistent within their own domain. (i.e. TypoScript 
having no CGL and lots of different spellings for things doing more or 
less the the same stuff)

So as long as we improve the usability of each method we provide, there 
is no reason to reduce them to just one method. Especially when some of 
the methods offer a much higher working speed, while others will give 
you much more convenience, we should always stay with both of types but 
keep an eye on their overall usability.

Just my €
