Electrum Features - Less is More

Just my opinion but I like to know how other Electrum users think of it.

I think Electrum has too many features for the average user and certainly for the hodler. I'm mainly a hodler and have no real use for invoices and the lightning parts in the wallet. Invoices is more for people who do many transactions or even for entrepreneurs who need the invoice part. Many people even get confused about it. The lightning part should be a separate wallet, if you ask me.

Something I remember considering safety is "the less features software has, the less the attack vector is for malware". For a hodler this is very important. For me an Electrum version with send and receive options including setting automatic and manual fees would be enough. Coin control is also very nice. That's about all I need.

What are your opinions? Would you prefer a slimmed down version (like the older 2.x and 3.x versions) or do you like it more the way it is now?
