Sure. I'd ask you not to assume anything about my background as you're likely to be wrong.
My point is that I can FEEL the power that's in TW5, but it is obfuscated. I suspect most users get over it and after a while can't remember the pain it takes to use beyond the very very basics. I want to use this tool (or something like it) for a non-technical hobby. I'd expect a wiki tool to be pretty much non-technical and aimed at the casual user. After writing code and mentoring others all week I don't usually want to learn another tool that I can't leverage in my career, and TW5 is teetering on the brink of being just that too much technical to use. That said, a tutorial or two on doing simple things like "How do I create lists of tiddlers that have something in common, like a table of contents?" would go a long ways towards making this easier for everyone.
