Three options is enough
The other day we had a problem with our tiny mce (jce) text editor. We were trying to add in a google maps which contains an iframe. The tiny mce system blocked our paste operation and we were unable to add in the code. This is understandable as it would be easy to insert malicious code into posts with an iframe.
The problem was that it was difficult to figure out through the plethora of configuration options on how to allow iframes into our content. As web developers we were able to manage such a task and we do similiar tasks each day. But what about other people who aren't technically skilled and just want to make a simple change.
Three options is enough. We don't need a million configuration details every time we are required to make a change. All I wanted was to change the security settings to allow whatever code the client wanted to insert. So why not have a strict security setting, a normal settings and a relaxed one. This way I could easily change it and my client could get to doing what they need to do.
I'm not saying remove configuration settings. If I need to fine tune a system then I will use them. But at least give us some overall settings to easily change how a system works. Too many programs have too many configuration options and thus confuse its users.
