      The same could be said for any complex piece of software.  I would
      disagree that there are many "middle ground users" anymore - and

    I agree, they should not be the target audience.

    The users in the middle I was referring to are not in the middle
    based on their expertise, but a 'natural phenomena' :). I don't know
    how to call them properly. All those somewhere in between mastery
    and newbism, but active, learning, going upwards towards the mastery
    of the particular piece of software. Those people can be a valuable
    resource.

    
    Those girls and guys were missing in GIMP and it struck me. Maybe it
    is a different case by now.

    My guess was that the early users became masters a long time ago,
    and for some reason the unwashed masses did not catch on for a long
    time, or that there was a period when very few people adopted GIMP.
    Its just my guesswork, sorry. 

    
    ... Or maybe they are merely a silent generation. :)
