That's how I do it too. Some people like complex interfaces, some others 
like tight ones. Both have advantages and drawbacks. I like the fact that 
a simple interface doesn't get in the way and does not break my 
concentration. While complex interfaces can do a lot and bring real 
benefits to power users, they can also bring a false sense of productivity 
for weaker users. It might be the case that many of their users chose them 
by imitation, ignorance of alternatives, or to somewhat flatten a learning 
curve, even though they might be better served by simpler tools. Anyway, 
to each his own: I'm more productive with Nano.
