That's not really what I meant ^-^; Sure I'll admit TW5 is rather iffy to me since it just isn't something I personally see myself using, but me and the people I know are just a small number of use cases we are after all writers and system IT types who really like how easy it is to get TWc looking and feeling just how we want it and adding new things very easily, even doing core modification right in a text editor when needed and being able to pass things around between us physically. We really use them as highly personalized notebooks and personal databases.
One way of putting it is that I personally feel that TW5 is targeted at either being a very basic setup ready out of the box or straight to rather high level power users. Where as TWc has many things that makes it ideal for the middle ground people and early power users and is a lot of fun for us to play around with and make our own. Straight out of the box TWc is a pretty blank slate to be played with and it is easy to tweak and turn into nearly anything you need, which can make it hard for really early users who don't know HTML/CSS and basic JavaScript but once you learn a little of them you can do really awesome things. I've even used it as a tool to teach a couple of young kids the basics of HTML/CSS and what I know about JavaScript since its a wonderful playground for teaching things. Where as TW5 is once again just entirely different it's not as "fun" for early and middle level people to tinker with IMO of course. In the end: TWc seems like the ultimate notebook! and personal Swiss army knife. TW5 seems like an IT's tool. So really I'm not saying people don't want it, nor am I saying it's not worth building, I was just saying that in my experiences that they seem like such different programs that keeping them named so closely seems kind of dangerous and a tad miss-leading, which could lead to a good deal of unneeded confusion for the lighter users along with hurting TWc in terms of new users coming in as they will inherently be drawn to TW5 because of it's name and potently miss out on finding a great gem in the history of personal wikis.
