Yes, I think it's a common mistake to think that a "power user" will always have all \
toolbar buttons & all functions of a program turned on. I consider myself a "power \
user", and the first thing I do is to slim down Konqueror's toolbars to a minimum, to \
the view buttons I really need. Being a power user does not necessarily mean that you \
need all functions of a program. Showimg is another example, it's toolbar is so damn \
overcrowded, it's really ugly. But is this for power users? It's not, imho. A friend \
of mine, a professional photographer uses his Mac instead of his Kubuntu machine to \
manage his photos. He's sometimes getting hundreds or thousands of photos off of his \
camera to his computer. He could use Digikam for that, it offers so many options - \
but he just gts lost. He uses Apple's tools to get his photos. You plug the camera \
into the Mac, iPhoto pops up, and it takes ONE SINGLE MOUSE CLICK to dwnload all \
photos off of the camera. In Digikam this is much more complex, the "Camera" menu is \
hidden somewhere between all the other menus & toolbars -very hard to find. My friend \
is definitely a power user when it comes to photography, and iPhoto is the tool of \
his coice because it's UI doesn't get in the way and lets him do what he wants to do.
