As a "domain expert", I come from the end-user side of "enterprise applications" and again; those are not tools for screenworkers to get actual work done, but consumer crap for fad-driven gadget-addicted kids (regardless of nominal age). > I honestly used to feel that way about graphical user interfaces. A GUI that can not be used without taking the ten fingers off the keyboard is indeed entirely unusable for any half-proficient screenworker. And anyone doing actual productive screenwork every day for more than just a few months will inevitably (have to) get proficient (unless completely braindead).
