There's a trade-off between the degree of control and the ease of
use.  Having "too many" options results in a longer/steeper learning
curve as well as can be a source of frustration.  However, that
doesn't necessarily mean that some manufacturers will stop the
'feature creep list', nor a USENET debate which assumes that  more
always equals better.

IIRC, there have been some Pro's who have had projects that were
completed with just a P&S.  However, your point is well taken:  the
key question to ask is what are the names of successful Pro's who have
utterly abandoned all SLRs for all still image* applications.
