From another angle, user doesn't need 80% of your application. This is a key to keep software simple, fast, and convenient to use. The downside (for some) is that because every users's needs are different, software needs to be tweaked and compiled by the end user.

Notable example of this approach is suckless' programs[1] such as dwm, dmenu, and st.

I also took this philosophy and wrote hat - a hackable text editor[2]. Mostly because tweaking neovim was not a pleasant experience and took more steps than it should.
