And that, in a nutshell, explains the reason Dave had that conversation elsewhere. People do not readily admit that they use hobbyist software. In fact, people do not readily use it. People tend to wish honing skills, which is so much easier to do when you have a complex piece of software that you learn step by step. Especially since there are hundreds of books and tutorials, as well as thousands of users in forums to consult with. In other words, users look up to expertise. Not a typical hobbyist feature.
