Excellent! Re: the original question "Why isn't Leo more popular" I can ask myself "Why don't I adopt tools which promise a better way to work?" I do a lot of grazing, and encounter very many such tools. A tool which does everything doesn't grab me, I don't need to do everything. A tool which, in it's few moments of my attention, describes a better way to do something I need, gets additional moments. If the tool salesperson mentions a task I encounter and a better way to do it, with a learning curve which justifies the benefit ... I will settle in for a while. Easier, more powerful boilerplates / templates / completion is the kind of bait I'll bite on, there's potential for decent return on investment.
