Who defines what our target market is?

Personally I couldnt care less if Mr and Mrs Average can install and run
linux. It doesnt affect my use any. If Linux became idiot-proof, Id probably
stop using it.

However, there's no reason why different WMs or whatever cant target different
audiences. Gnome have chosen the average end user, it appears, and thats fine.
Ill continue to use KDE thanks :)
