"Limited availabity" does not mean "in widespread use". I don't think I've ever known a regular user of Emacs apart from my brother.

> Just to remind there's no such thing as a "programming/computer guru" who is not also an end-user. We are all end-users.

You miss my point. All programming/computing gurus are end users, true. But not all (indeed, VERY FEW) end users are programming/computing gurus. In this environment (LWN) I may not be anything special, but *both* in my work and home environment I am a goliath amongst midgets.

In that sort of environment, where do I learn the things, that to you are second nature?

"Limited availabity" does not mean "in widespread use".

Yes, but perhaps Emacs would be in more widespread use if more people knew about Magit (and org-mode, and all the other goodies that make Emacs so unique and incredibly powerful).

And again, you are falling totally into the trap of assuming "everyone is like me".

I've already said I'm very much ALONE amongst my peer group of being a computer expert. MY peer group (which is far more representative of the general workforce than yours) wouldn't have a clue what a SCCS is if you hit them over the head with it! Even less a DVCS!

I don't have a problem with other peoples' opinions (we can all disagree quite friendlily?) UNTIL they assume their opinions apply to the majority. Guess what! We are a VERY SMALL minority!
