To add features or not?

It is very interesting for me when I look at it today - the way Apple
does new stuff versus the competition. Everyone else tries to stuff
too many features into too less and nothing works well.

I think Apple had the audacity to pare things down to the minimum and
the strength of character to determine which features mattered the
most in the beginning.

The interesting part however is that, by adding new features later in
the game, and often after the open source community, they gave the
users time to learn & understand the new stuff while giving themselves
time to do stuff properly & get a stable product in the bargain.
