While I don't like the idea of an interface being dumbed down, I hate the interface getting in the way of gameplay. I was never a fan of the old LucasArts interface -- two or three clicks, with moving the cursor all over the screen to do one simple thing. I also disliked having to choose from too many actions, like "Push", "Pull", "Grab", "Pick up", "Open", "Use", etc. All of this gets in the way of gameplay. At the same time, I hate interfaces that too simple, where one click does it all, ala KQ7. Having one "action" verb ("Take"+"Use"+"Open") separate from "Look" and possibly a third one for "Walk" gives you more control, but doesn't start to be too cumbersome. Being able to cycle through the three with a right click makes it quick and easy, without getting too much in the way of the game.
