I am a long-time lurker on this newsgroup, and I have noticed that in the last few months there have been significant improvements to Leo, in the hopes of making it more accessible to the non-technical crowd. It was certainly a move in the right direction but, alas, I think it was not enough. The point of my argument is that Leo is still too technically-oriented, and this alienates so many potential users. You just have to read the posts on this newsgroup (as I have been doing for a long time), to realize that people with little or no programming experience are bound to find major difficulties in using Leo, from the very beginning. Just trying to configure the simplest (UI-related) settings is a major challenge. This issue was already raised in the past, but is yet to be solved.
Why can't we (non-technical people) be relieved with having to tinker with the internal workings of Leo? Come to think of it, the overwhelming majority of modern programs are totally GUI-based, so that the settings can be easily changed via menus. Why can't we have this in Leo too, instead of having to learn technical jargon and manually modify settings files? I really don't get it. Please, consider doing something radical about it (e.g. refurbishing the default menus with all the main commands and settings, at least), or realistically Leo might be bound for extinction.
