You could do a lot worse than look at the HyperCard Home stack as a
starting point for drawing in 'hobbyist' users (like me). If your Home
Stack is simply a launcher perhaps you could package different kinds of
Home stacks for different kinds of users - something along the lines of
the HC User level approach, or something that would work for different
kinds of switchers e.g. a Home stack fro switchers from SuperCard - or
whatever.

I should clarify that I do too. The Home stack is currently a
necessity in any IDE, so the impact in memory would not change. And
in keeping with MetaCard's central mandate, "Do No Harm", I can't
imagine why any Home stack would need any frontScripts or backScripts.
HC never supported either feature, and we needn't much up any new
Home stack with them. It should be simple and self-contained, far
simpler than RevOnline and, unlike RevOnline, open source for user
modification.
