Should TC target all users? System administrator types only? Casual end-users (such as my wife)? People "in between" (like myself) with frequent need for administrator-class tools but who also mouse around casually with our feet up on the desk and the keyboard out of reach?

One might say: Mr. Ghisler is the only one who can freely decide these things. But the shadows of legacy design and implementation decisions embodied in old code (and the efforts required to move past them) hang over all of us who write software for a living, forcing our hands.

As product managers everywhere know, any product has a product lifecycle. Where is TC in its product lifecycle?

I totally agree. That's why i believe there are some things for programmers that nomatter how much we hate them, have to be done in a way that seems familiar to all users. This is one of them. It would just be great if it was optional and perhaps turned on by default for not-so-technical users.
