Comment 20 for bug 1321750

@bobodod (comment #18): I don't use Caffeine just for watching films, etc., and I've not tried to make it suitable only for what I want to do. Rather, I tried to make it as simple as possible for as many users as possible.

I'm going to guess that I have erred in one particular: namely, many current Caffeine users are precisely those who like to tweak their computers' behaviour in the first place, whereas the audience I had in mind was users who prefer their computer to just work sensibly without configuration. As I simplified the design, I had to retrain myself in my own use: I was using the manual override up until I removed it; since I removed it I've not needed it.

I certainly wouldn't be interested in a bounty to reintroduce the user interface, since I think Caffeine's better without it; perhaps another developer would be interested in a bounty for a fork? The current code of Caffeine is about 40 lines of Python; even at its most feature-rich, it was only about 400, which is not a lot to learn one's way around.
