Exactly. A user is a new user only for a short time - and if he/she isn't, it's their fault and not a reason for others to suffer. It's the same nonsense as majority of distribution reviews focusing only on installation while people are installing it for few hours (top) and then using it for months, sometimes even years. Or my mobile phone operator doing enormous effort to attract new customers while completely ignoring those they already have (in a country with more active SIM cards than citizens). With every new version of OpenSuSE, KDE or Firefox, I need to do more deviations from the defaults to make the environment reasonably usable for me - and sometimes it's not only changing some settings. And most of those are caused by someone wanting OpenSuSE (or KDE) look more like Windows or Firefox more like Chrome "because new users want it that way". I don't want to say we shouldn't try to make OpenSuSE more attractive to (potential) new users. But sometimes I feel like we focus on what new users would like (or what we believe they would) a bit too much - and ignore that users we already have might be unhappy with those changes.
