Actually, this article is quite relevant to this thread in a way... It highlights how differently we all think (hardwired or not I don't know) and therefore why this string can go on for ever. I suspect that different approaches to expressing the abstract stuff of computer programming suit different ones of us and the way our brains work.

It seems to be, of necessity, a carrot and stick thing:  something draws
you in makes you happy/productive, and then willing to conquer the stick.

Congrats, Garrett, you've crossed over. :) Your learning curve was
pretty classic. First you hate it, then you start to see possibilities,
then you "get it", then the world's your oyster. Takes a few weeks, but
is well worth it.

But as Greg says, not everyone wants to be a programmer. I'm not sure
how Rev could dumb itself down enough to do what Greg wants without any
programming at all. I think Media with its templates is a step in the
right direction, but Rev is definitely a programming environment and
without at least some scripting it can only do so much.
