While not completely disagreeing with you, I think there are a couple of
levels between professional publisher and home user.  The most common
one I would think of is a person who runs a small newsletter for an
organization or club of some sort.  They don't need _all_ the features
of an InDesign, but they would like the publication to come off a little
more professionally.  Another group might be people that run a
professional document, but infrequently (an annual or semi-annual
report) and their primary business is not publishing.  I really wouldn't
want to shell out close to a grand for a program I use very infrequently.
