Exactly.
I also think that some options shall be moved from the main area in the
configuration dialog to a sub-level dialog section, but "advanced" is the
wrong word for those options.
We should better use something like "rarely used options", which describes why
those option have been put in a second level, and this has absolutely nothing
to do with the skill of the user!
And it reflects the reality: Some options are not needed for doing the main
tasks, but are here to fine-tune some aspects of a program (maybe "fine tune"
might also be another good word for such a sub-section in a dialog).
