Eleven steps to change Powerpoint from centimeters to inches is totally reasonable given that nobody would ever want to do that, and how could you make room for all that completely-necessary whitespace if you didn't remove all those buttons nobody cares about anyways?

I made a flowchart on modern software recently, and it had a wonderful feature where if you dragged an object (e.g. an arrow linking two steps) to an edge of the screen, it would scroll the window in that direction. I zoomed in on one end of an arrow, grabbed it to move it slightly, and...It's off the bottom of the screen! better scroll down. It's off the bottom of the screen! better scroll down. It's off the bottom of the screen! better scroll down. It's off the bottom of the screen! better scroll down. It's off the bottom of the screen! better scroll down.
