Yeah but that's ok - maybe later on they will ask questions here in the forum and learn about new techniques then or read the documentation when they want to push their skill level up a notch...

I've come to kind of regard that as the main type of thing to shoot for - keeping things simple and approachable at the initial level but having more things under the surface that you can uncover.

Of course if there is a way to make something more discoverable without as much of a negative side effect like excess clutter, then it's good to do that as well. But it can be pretty difficult to make that happen in all situations... It's very easy to have complexity result as a side effect by trying to make everything initially discoverable and end up just smacking people in the face with too much stuff.
