Geek friendly is obtuse and lacking integration. [1]
User friendly is straight-forward, familiar, and integrated. As long as our
platform makes sense, we are doing well.
[ Example: I have no trouble in the world leaping between Windows and Mac
OS. Why? Both are well-integrated and intra-familiar. Our primary target
right now is a similarly intra-familiar user environment on a *nix platform;
we're just... ambitious. :) ]

[1] That's total bollocks, by the way - geeks are just able to deal with it
and get used to it far more easily.
