Sure, I entirely agree that there's a large spectrum of user types (or people) out there.

You used the phrase 'most people' three times there to describe a quite likely common user type for off-the-shelf consumables. I am quietly confident the guys working on this are not targeting 'most people'. Or if they are, they are quite candid about it not being ready for them yet.




The analogy that kicked this all off:

"An ordinary user can no more drive a Linux box in the cloud than fly an A320."

Maybe they aren't targeting most people, but if not, why are they talking about the ordinary user?


It's not ready for them yet. :-)
