Well said...
Quoted: The process of making new things simple to win a market is a story that Apple understands extremely well, given their overwhelming focus on the user experience. There’s nothing really very simple or very “less is more”, about the iPhone, for example. Yet it gloriously made a bunch of clunky stuff simple and a lot of hard stuff possible.

Quoted: The Web is built for browsing—not deep reading. Everything about reading on the Web is designed to shorten your attention span. Every link promises that whatever you’re currently reading isn’t nearly as interesting as the thing behind the link.

You must be Mohit's friend before you can comment on this Fave.I think people tend to confuse "simple" with "elegant".
Also, on features: They should be considered by weighing the expected lifetime benefit of adding such feature vs. the expected lifetime cost of supporting it. For packaged software, more features tend towards fee at volume (minus the customer-support costs) and attracts incrementally more user segments, so bloatware beats elegant-ware.
I'm not so sure this is as true for cloud services - the difference is that the host is paying for all the additional storage and processing required by every additional (or legacy) feature. It will be interesting to see how enterprise platforms like Saleforce evolve in the long term. Maybe the 3rd party hosted model like Facebook is the way to go.
