Ummm, Henry, logical fallacy: because users can't cope with a baroque
user interface, we are going to deny them a better one?  DNF (does not
follow).

The fundamental disagreement is whether a keyword system is bound
to be "more complex".  I would argue that it can be more flexible
without being more "complex", in the sense that it will take less
knowledge to use it well (compared to the present system).
