The holy grail of design is to get both. Many people draw a straight line with complex solutions on the one side and simple solutions on the other side. Depending on what they are aiming for they choose a spot somewhere on the line.

Sometimes however it is entirely possible to "go sideways" sometimes. This is the Answer to the wuesrion: "Why not both?".

This approach takes however a lot more energy usually. More thoughts and modifications are needed compared to just quickly adding some feature. And sometimes there just might be no solution at all.

But we are talking about software. So even if there is no organic solution that gets you both, it might be totally viable to hide some feature in a "pro user" section in the preferences or something among these lines.

After all most people will not click into the Preferences, but very few power users wouldn't.
