Minimalism/power and catering to the lowest common denominator are simply and completely incompatible. You've got to understand that interfaces for grandma or Joe down the street and the ones for those who use dwm/bspwm can't be made one. You have to be best at what you do, not a ridiculous jack-of-all-trades.

Which goes on to show that Computer Science has nothing to do with computers and that scientists aren't necessarily the same as engineers/programmers, nor are they wiser than average. (I say that coming from one of the best universities in France; I didn't have very much respect left for the word "scientist" when I left).
