My statement was meant to be taken, if it wasn't my bad on poor wording, as
saying
My two cents for look&feel:
make it clean, and good looking, but with no sacrifice in
functionality. I wrote a semi-article on this somewhere, but probably
things need to be better defined (theming goals, that is). Don't make
it ubuntu (but then I doubt that would ever happen).

If we were creating a vision or mission statement,Kevin's statement
may be accurate.
But this discussion is about who we are targeting: what our
communication, brand, look and feel are to speak to this targeted
group of users, and I think adding in the words power users throws it
off.
