@dahukanna And that in turn is driven in corporate software sales by the fact that the decision makers that will be choosing to deploy the software to their organization are typically naive to the software. Software that has a steep learning curve (or, really, any learning curve at all) to do basic tasks doesn't show as well during the demo stage. It makes the executives deciding which software package to introduce to their enterprise feel stupid.

I'm saying this remembering my mother railing about this phenomenon in the 1980s. Executives chose Microsoft Word over the vastly more powerful WordPerfect because the UI was optimized for novices to the software, while WordPerfect was optimized for the power user.
