Eyolf: I think we agree on the need for more simplification, and if
you look at the feature requests, a lot of them are actually about
simpler input syntax rather than about adding "exotic" whole-new
features.
- for instance, a major feature request is to make LilyPond+editor
easier to install and to understand under Windows.
- another example: it would be nice to have one single command to
start a TextSpanner without having to \override TextSpanner
#'bound-details #'left #'text (I've already been working quite a lot
on this particular one).

So when I say "we should make requesting features and taking them into
account easier", I am also advocating for actually improving the
existing software.
