Just no need for a bunch of the other stuff.

This is a consistent thing that I run into with people at work that are hung up on always wanting a big report with a ton of numbers. I just want the computer to tell me what's outside of parameters, not show me a bunch of things that are absolutely normal and have me have to fish it out.
So you would prefer a digital speedo and a few idiot lights.

Sounds like hell to me.

With gauges, you can see trends that indicate things are still within normal parameters (because normal is often a range), but have changed from the way things run 99% of the time.

Also, I've got climate control, and it works well, but I still find that I change the settings based on weather trends. I don't always have it set to 70, sometimes I'll crank it down to 68, sometimes up to 72, and sometimes I change it farther outside of that range based on how I feel that day and what's going on outside.
