I appreciate the parable of helping non-technical users (or, more precisely, users not keen on IT). As I understand, placement of software like Word or Photoshop servers this purpose. But both of them have decent open-source counterparts, and they are better fit for an rsync manual. Or, if from any reason proprietary software is preferred in this context (perhaps because it generates even more contrast in the story), I would better go to regions poorly covered by the open source community and refer to, for example, AutoCAD or Adobe After Effects. Maybe this would motivate somebody to start an open-source CAD or SFX software project.
