Can you qualify that statement? Do you mean "difficult to set up on
certain OS's"? Because for windows there is no difficulty.

The distributed binaries haven't worked when I tried on any version of linux or macosx that I used. Attempting to build from source also failed. (I'm pretty much an anti-microsoft bigot).

  Everyone ends up writing some html
eventually, for instance.

most folks write more than just HTML! Ruby, Lisp, Perl, C, Java, etc.

Dedicated computer folks and experimental tinkerers, yes, I concur.

But even casual computer users eventually want to write html, or compose for a wiki and get annoyed when their 3 hours of work in a web browser test field are lost because they changed pages.
