Some of the already mentioned goals go in part against each other, so 
clearly achieving them all is close to impossible but first part in 
understanding what we can build is to understand what we want to build and 
that means identifying end-user requirements and choosing those that we 
can work on that provide most value to end-users. If we just build system 
with no regards to what users want, the system will not be used (I'd bet 
you all know examples of such programs, even those that have lots of 
features and are very well designed).
