Good design is about choosing which features NOT to implement. This process lends itself very badly to large groups since everyone will want to implement their pet peevee and eventually the design will end up cluttered and inconsistent.

In an ideal world a product will be designed by one person. Preferably Philip Starck or Jonathan Ive.
