Surgical implements aren't intended for 'consumers' either.

So I wonder > what "consumer" means in this context. I started out as a 'consumer' a couple of weeks ago as I was looking for a Linux video editor. Tried a few programs, settled on kdenlive for a while, till I got tired of it segfaulting every time I sneezed or scratched myself. #2 choice was Cinelerra - I was put off by what then felt like complexity. The whole thing about keyframes, camera, projector etc burst a few cerebral blood vessels. But I persisted. Now, just a couple of weeks later, I'm comfortably settled with Cinelerra. I couldn't do without those very features I found hard to understand before. I gather that what's meant by 'consumer' in this thread is someone who expects to find their way around the program and be up to speed within 10 minutes or less, with minimal or no reading of manuals.
