The design team in the past has decided to improve on the Tools > Options dialog by removing less used features from it. https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Whiteboards/Options/Global I think that instead, a simplified options dialog should be created from scratch that would be geared towards the regular user (aka Benjamin), which has the option to be switched to advanced mode for more advanced user (aka Eve), resulting in showing the current options dialog. I've seen this type of simple and advanced switch type options dialog in apps like VLC.
+ 1 Looking forward to the design efforts ;)
Created attachment 115236 [details] VLC - Simple vs Advanced
Comment on attachment 115236 [details] VLC - Simple vs Advanced Previous VLC had more levels, IIRC. "Master of the universe" was the setting to show each and every setting. I guess it was chosen quite often.
The idea is good. How a simple prole makes sure this goes in? Personally, I dislike some of the 'expert' options being taken away (#90801). Perhaps hidden in the 'expert dialog' they would be (more) safe from the purges.

Was watching a video of Office for Mac and this is what their preferences look like.
