It is definitely not aimed at _pleasing_ everybody, especially not minorities like programmers.
Hopefully it's not aimed at disenfranchising "minorities", either -- especially since minorities like programmers aren't as much of a minority at Wikipedia as they are at, say, the Coopersmith's bar downtown.
Yeah, so let's design MediaWiki so it's useful only to the programmers, since no-one else would be helpful in writing the encyclopedia anyway. Especially since programmers know everything.
This thread has gotten so dense that I can no longer discern what the topic is, much less who's on which side. If anyone sees fit to continue it, I suggest they start by enumerating those two things.
