I am one of these creatures. I didn’t set a preference when I joined and just rode through the default changes as it went. Later, I ended up setting a preference to Vector, but that was after I had played around with other skins, so I needed a way to get back to the one I liked.
Personally, I think talk of “power user skin” versus “reader skin” is pointless. I think we should be focusing on making the software and system better. If that means “a better skin api” or it means “a new skin” or it means “removing old skins”, let’s do that.

But power users who registered after the Vector default switch - I can't see a reason for them to explicitly enable it, if they're comfortable with it. Anecdotally I know a few strange creatures who fall into that category, although personally I prefer Monobook.
