While I understand not wanting a feature "rammed" down your throat, there are some cases where using and understanding a feature is one of the largest factors in being an expert user. In this case, the program is trying to get you to do the "right" thing, and you should probably just comply.

One example of this is Photoshop. The single biggest differentiator between a Photoshop bad-ass and a noob is a deep understanding and copious use of layers. Because of this, Photoshop tries to ram layers down your throat at every opportunity, and that is the correct thing to do in my opinion. When I first upgraded to the version of Photoshop that went all-in on layers, it infuriated me because I felt like I had to do more work to achieve my goals; now I get infuriated when I try to use an image manipulation program without rich layering functionality.
