I tend to be a "simpler is better" guy.  Heck ... that's why radios still have 
knobs ... they're very efficient and natural man-machine control 
mechanisms.  No lists, no names to remember, and you get instant and 
continuous feedback on the effects of an adjustment.

Even if I had all the options named and set up,  the band yeterday 
wouldn't be the band today, and I'd want something different ... And then 
I'd actually have to REMEMBER what my fancy naming convention 
meant, and that would be a challenge in itself .. :-)
