The structural problem is that maximum flexibility without opinionated defaults shifts cognitive burden from tasks to tooling. Simpler, more constrained alternatives often deliver value faster.

ClickUp users find the interface cluttered and want the option to switch to a simplified view. The complaint reflects a common tension in feature-rich project management tools between power-user configurability and out-of-the-box clarity for less advanced users.
