Not only writing code is much more time consuming than configuring, but options never conflict, while there is no way to make arbitrary extensions not conflict. Sorry, but this post contains so much nonsense I don't even know where to start. Probably from the beginning.

I do not use Office 2010, so I cannot tell you that (but Google points to many answers - do yourself a favour - use it).
I can tell you about iOS home screen. You hold one of the icons until they all start shaking. Then you rearrange them using your finger, by dragging and dropping.
I can also tell you about Android (well Galaxy S2 anyway). You tap options, then edit. Then you just drag and drop with you finger.
I have no idea what the point of your question was.

Which is the point of our complaint. Gnome 3 developers did not code a generic way to do the most trivial of things for a GUI - rearrange elements on the screen. Duh!
Instead, for someone to move an icon by one position on the grid, you have to create or download code. But, if you want to move it by two, you may be out of luck. Totally and utterly ridiculous, of course.

Yeah, except that's done once rather than every time a user needs to do something slightly different.
> Options conflict all the time — and these conflicts must be resolved by program developers,
Of course.
That's the whole fucking job of the program developers, making sure their software works, in all configurations!
Again, it's DONE ONCE and TESTED.
> And their number is limited. That's why software evolves from the options to extensions.
For things that do not conflict with other functionality.

Microsoft Office 2010 ribbon toolbar:
As you can see, real applications with actual market share are not toys and can be configured.
