You're absolutely right with your point of view and TW definitely is
not (and shouldn't be) just for geeks.

a) yes, b) no. It is not really simple to center things in a web page
because that's not a basic intention of HTML (abbr for Hypertext
Markup Language).
Centering elements on a page is not text editing - strictly speaking
it's either design or at least DTP - TiddlyWiki is, as you mentioned
yourself, a wiki - not a design- or DTP application.
You might think that text processing applications are all capable of
centering text and/or images - yes they are, but: they won't run in a
single HTML file and they are not capable of running on different
operation systems - most of them couldn't be carried around on a thumb
drive. If you want a feature-rich application which is also easy to
handle you simply can't include that into a < 400k HTML page.
I assume someone suggested to include a wysiwyg ("what you see is what
you get") editor to have similar options like in a standard word
processing application (a toolbar for formatting and so on) - but
you'll have to use additional files then - so simplicity and
portability are gone at that point.
For the plugin installation process I have to admit that I am finding
it complicated sometimes, too. I believe that the developers do their
best to make especially that process easier. But I have to say that
this great community has always been helpful - so if you have problems
with the installation of a plugin you could always ask for support
here...
BTW a lot of things have been improved (= made much easier) since the
first releases - believe me ;)
