GanttProject

Comparing to other full fledged project management software, one could say that GanttProject is designed considering the KISS principle.

KISS principle

Colin Chapman, the founder of Lotus Cars, urged his designers to "Simplify, and add lightness".

The principle most likely finds its origins in similar concepts, such as Occam's razor, Leonardo da Vinci's "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication", Mies Van Der Rohe's "Less is more", or Antoine de Saint Exupéry's "It seems that perfection is reached not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away".
