yes - of course the problem is that not everyone is a programmer, or 
would care to be.  My mother-in-law barely knows what a computer is, but 
highly enjoys pressing play in her i-tunes. 


i think one of the problems here might be the confusion of the words "interface" with "graphical interface".  with confusion i mean that "graphical interface" is viewed as the only sort of interface (i am no programmer, but from what i know, there are several sorts of "meta-interfaces" or "lower level interfaces" in programs, and the graphical, as the one the "plain user" accesses - just lies "on top") and therefore the concept of "interfacing" is often misunderstood, which results in non- or almost - non configurable interfaces.

this is connected to a second point, that those designing the interface often see it more as a feature to "sell" their product and not as a necessity to use the product, therefore they try to make it appeal to a target audience, as broad as possible.
everything is constructed to appeal at first sight, but has no depth (personal configurability) for personal indentification(adaption). or "everybody can use it, but few can put it to use properly".

just some thoughts... i may have forgot some important aspects, i hope i got "my thought" across...
