The cynic in me says most startup types would witness this behavior, snort derisively and say "they're not our target market".

Or "you are doing/holding it wrong!!!".

Damn it, i have had a prominent FOSS DE guy basically claim that users are idiots after studying the results of a usability test of their DE.

For me, in the trenches, it is more that users find their own ways of doing things. And if it works for them it works for them, and we have no business correcting them.

What DE? You can't leave us hanging like that, we're not chads and this isn't Election2000.
