Yeah, this is a problem. One of the selling points of FSRS is supposed to be that it does all the math for you and you don’t have to worry about the settings anymore (other than desired retention), but it ends up being way more complicated than that.
Maybe we should go the SuperMemo route and have two layouts (SuperMemo has four).

  1. Beginner. When FSRS is enabled, there is only one setting: desired retention. Learning steps are hidden, max. interval is hidden, parameters are hidden, and optimization is performed automatically either every N months or after each N thousand reviews + initially, when the user just enabled FSRS.
    Here is what it would look like:

  2. Professional. The current layout.

Beginner would be the default, and can be changed somewhere in Tools > Preferences.
@dae @L.M.Sherlock what do you think?
