Perhaps one idea, to better grab each set of users, is to put together groups of plugins that are targeted at that set.
Some of those groups will want a WYSIWYG editor, others won't, some will want support for moving objects around in themes (call them widgets if you must), other won't, some might want plugin debugging tools, etc. A set of starter packs, perhaps even including habari itself, with plugins aimed at those groups could really help to explain why it is suitable for each group, but also help that group get what they want more quickly without having to remove stuff they don't want. The 1-7 list would be a good starting point.
