This sounds interesting, but the link is broken. Is there a backup somewhere?

I’m dismayed by all the people in the comments who didn’t read the article but think that “LOL PHP” is a valuable contribution.

Having to have a facebook account is a real downer.

Disregarding the analogy, there are problems with the doctrine itself. For example, here are two that stand out:

“Hell is a place where people are no longer in the presence of God” – how could this be if God is omnipresent?

In a similar vein, if Lucifer rebelled and Adam & Eve chose, and if God is omnipotent/omniscient/omnipresent, then it would mean that God chose to allow both events to occur. If that is the case then God chose to allow his own creation to be corrupted.

Jared makes a good point. However, it’s possible to strike a balance between simplicity and capability by making available optional, modular features for a given product; users install modules on request to add capabilities outside the core feature set. A model like this avoids both problems mentioned in the article – keeping the UI/UX approachable, and the code untangled. It does add some complexity though, which is unavoidable. Still, it could be a good way to get new users up and running quickly, then retain them when their requirements grow.
