"use-rev" means "using Rev" (was 10,000 other threads)

[Judy Perry]

I disagree with this premise (okay,  obviously):

It is tantamount to group-think.  It presents the company with a skewed
perception of the reality and totality of its actual as well as potential
user base.  And it sets up a class-based system of users, with the 'pro's'
being higher beings than everybody else (even though some may not see
themselves that way--am I not going out of my way to qualify each and
every statement?).

People don't always 'criticize' because they hate something; sometimes
they do it because they love it and want to see it thrive (I don't think
you and I are of a strikingly different mind on this, incidentally).

But again -- these sorts of discussions nearly ALWAYS percolate out of a
technical or 'use' issue.  That's why establishing n extra groups won't
likely achieve what some say they want.
