well, i tell you what happens finally

* most users are not reading any manual
* just develop by trial-and-error
* starting using all that nice things
* then they quit
* the person taking their task in future needs to migrate
* the application has a "vendor-lockin" and is not portable

and no, i am not speaking for the developers

i am speaking for myself after had to struggle way too
often the last 10 years with not well planned software
and the resulting upgrade / migration pains
