>From my perspective it depends on your previous programming experiences. After programming C++ for a few years, I immediately saw the huge potential of Smalltalk (Squeak at this time) with image, live programming, etc even if at that same time I did not understand at all any details. Free software mates not dedicated to programming but to mere scripting did not see that benefit, but more a nuisance in this image based system. But then after you have the main stream people prefer to follow.
