Another idea is: a switch. Applications should start with 
their default configuration, but after an amount of time 
(e.g. 1 week) the application informs the user that it's 
gonna hide some buttons he didn't use and show some new 
buttons that were menus items he often used. Then, a new 
button should appear into the menu bar (or somewhere else, 
but not in a disturbing place): a switch to pass between 
the "user mode", with the most used features, and "default 
mode", with developer choices.
