The user just types along, and doesn't read books and manuals. A least the average user. And we want to make it as easy as possible for her. And actually, it feels nice when I can pick up something new and be efficient quickly. And if on top of that I discover that I can keep learning and improving for a long time and discover the hidden power of what I am using, that's great and I am happy.
