Thanks for the detailed explanations.  Especially after
seeing your examples, I tend to agree that you have made the
right choices.

And I definitely agree that simplicity is a worthy goal.

I guess it all boils down to when you pay the price.  Some
of the features in question definitely make it easier to
write code quickly, without as much thought or preparation.
But, one may end up spending a long time debugging the same
hastily written code.

I'd rather pay the price at design time rather than during
debug time.  But because I'm lazy, I usually resist the
design stage, and want to get right to the coding.  Hence
the questions. Maybe one day I'll learn to always say no to
just start coding, without first a little design.
