That's a bit of a mouthful.
Counter question: Did you only adding options/features of a request of many persons? Did hundrets of persons ask for the date option in the taskbar? (I don't think so). Moreover I think, you have your own ideas of useful features. So it was a suggestion by myself, because this option certainly is useful. And not every user, ask for a special feature, but after is is available, he wil use it.
Do you think Microsoft would be where they are today if they had only implemented what users wanted?
Innovation is the magic word. (The more functions your software has, the more valuable it is and the more customers will opt for it.)
