But it is true that Nxt/Ardor could use a simplified version of the desktop wallet. I think Nxt has a great wallet, but I'm used to it and I understand newcomers can be overwhelmed by a lot of tools that could be under the "advanced" hood of a simplified wallet.
A more simple interface with an "advanced" button would be a great addition. Maybe this concept can be realized with the "NXT (ARDOR) Desktop" (run-desktop.sh) wallet version, because this one is easier to use for people that don't know what this strange "localhost" thingy is

There were some alternative NXT clients in the past, some I remember had minimalist interfaces (I had tried the
ClienNXT wallet and liked it a bit, it was not very "beautiful" but very simple to use). Does anybody know if some of these alternative still exist?
