I think I use these two paths every day. In the planning stages of projects, it avoids feature creep if I can first lay out the minimum requirements to make something work. When it comes to implementation, I also use it to first create a basic version, before layering on features. <a href="http://www.adamduvander.com/simple/surfing-without-javascript" rel="nofollow">Degradable Javascript</a> is a good example of getting to the core (the non-JS version), then layering more interaction on top of that. Thanks, Tom.

I like the nice info graphics that you made that really bring the point front and center. Agreed. I like the nice info graphics that you made that really bring the point front and center.
