I'm certainly not complaining about the lack of bundles that are 
applicable to me. On the rare occasions when I want to tightly integrate 
two or more applications into a single workflow, I take ten minutes and 
write a macro that's customized to my particular situation. I don't need 
and don't want such functionality built into the product. Where does it 
end? Will the Command menu one day include fifty applications?

A needlessly cluttered interface has a way of becoming more cluttered 
with each release and detracts from the perceived quality of the 
product. One of the things I appreciate about applications such as 
BBEdit is the extent to which they allow customization of menus and 
shortcuts. The interfaces to unneeded functionality are seamlessly 
removable, leaving an application that is lean, clean, and easier to 
use. And when customers are able to customize their product, they are 
more likely to remain loyal to it.

I'm sure that it's easier for the developer to implement this kind of 
functionality earlier in a product's development than later, and I hope 
you'll consider it.
