Nothing whatsoever.  When you initially suggested the normalization  
change, i just thought it was a replacement not a addition.  My  
misunderstanding my bad.

As for ease of use..  Take wings for example.  When I started using  
wings, i had no clue the advanced options even existed.  When I  
explored the program more, and enabled them... wow.  There is so much  
more you can do.  How do people feel about having "beginner,  
intermediate, advanced" modes for certain tools?
