Use SharePoint as an out-of-box application
whenever possible - We designed the new
SharePoint UI to be clean, simple and fast and work
great out-of-box. We encourage you not to modify
it which could add complexity, performance and
upgradeability [issues] and to focus your energy on
working with users and groups to understand how
to use SharePoint to improve productivity and
collaboration and identifying and promoting best
practices in your organization.
