+1 LOL, that's totally how such discussions tend to go.

It's just like Walter himself has said on several occasions. Why bend
over backwards to please the non-adopting crowds who will just move on
to the next excuse not to use D once you've addressed their current
complaint?  Rather, we should be concerned about making *existing* users
happier -- and there's no shortage of action items there.
