Thanks! Partly I'm motivated by the experience of opening a new program, seeing the window, and not being able to do a thing. It's so frustrating! I've had that happen a few times too many, and I wouldn't want new Leo users to go through it. And partly because it's so hard to give non-Leoistas a feel for what they could do with Leo once they get into using it.
