This is true but being in a minority can be advantageous, I feel that I know how to use much more powerful tools than my colleagues and this gives me a powerful edge in getting things done faster.

I often look amazed at how inefficiently some people try to do things in packages like IRAF (which only those in astro will understand the reference).

That said I WOULD like to see wider adoption rather than feel like some archmage. A linux binary distro would help a lot. We could model the default installation set on my Mac one.

Any volunteers?
