I agree. Minimalism in the "unix" sense (Write programs that do one thing, and do that one thing well.) is beautiful.

Minimalism to get rid of all this useless fluff that no one ever uses is practical.

Minimalism in coding, not using overly complicated structure,functions,etc Is great for your sanity as well as anyone who has to deal with your code.

Minimalism as a feature on a checklist is going to harm anything or anyone involved.

If your obsessive about optimizing and tweaking your project (and try to keep a practical head about you) eventually the line between form and function will merge, that's when you stop.
