I think *many* will disagree with you. The use of a program to look at 
hex code and edit it is far more specialised than a program that simply 
puts your current status (working, playing, which activites you are 
doing etc) in a web page.

Have you actually used the application? Do you realise that KWebStat is 
an application to publish your current status of what you are doing to 
a web page, and not some kind of Apache status program.

Check the homepage at http://www.jonobacon.co.uk/kwebstat/.

I feel this is definitly a user application...and I know of users using 
it.
