Friday night, I was talking with writer John DeChancie.  He was 
interested in turning one of his paintings into a cover for his latest 
book, and I suggested that he look at Scribus, as it's FOSS and works 
under Windows just as well as Linux.  As it happened, one of the other 
members of the conversation had used the program and said that it was 
very capable, but had a generous learning curve.  I replied, "Anything 
worth using has a learning curve."

The ignoranti may want a UI with no learning curve, but they're not 
going to get it.  Even the nipple takes time for an infant to learn how 
to use.
