Not at all clear. If they're not sensitive to those nuances it's just
as likely that they're a casual developer (e.g. a student just
learning to program). Such users are unlikely to start using major 3rd
party packages like Twisted or Django, which would be completely
overwhelming to someone just learning.
That seems like it would be right to me, but two or three times a month
someone shows up in the Twisted IRC channel who is learning both Python
and Twisted at the same time. So apparently there are a lot of people
for whom this isn't overwhelming.
