Seems short on examples, but the general idea feels right. I think I spend a lot of time trying to persuade product owners _not_ to build out crazy new functionality for fear that will just confuse the UI for our existing users or casual new potential users coming for a look.

There's a lot of power in google's original concept of a single text box.

I think it's "worse" than that. Last week, I wrote four classes. They weren't very long. I spent most of the time trawling through libraries I was using trying to figure out how to write those four classes.

But it felt like quite a productive week: they were the "right" four classes, and I could have written a lot more code that did the job less concisely.
