@amerika @Pawlicker @kirby @mint Microsoft, when they are designing a product or a feature, consider three personified user archetypes: Mort (normie/noob), Elvis (regular programmer/"power user"), and Einstein (hacker). These guys are basically a notional tool to conceptualize the use-cases. For example, Mort uses VisualBasic, Elvis uses C#, and Einstein uses C++. Pareto distribution of aptitude.

Anyway, years and years ago, I wondered aloud why anyone would use PHP, and a coworker said "It's VB.NET for Linux" and it clicked.
