     I do not challenge your statement of width of use, but ...

     Since something that is easy to use would tend to have fewer
questions per capita, the raw number of questions is not as indicative
as you might think.

     I saw how rec.arts-int-fiction got turned into little more than
an Inform 7 support group.  I recall one poster stating that the
language made it very easy to do easy things, but if what one wanted
to do was off the beaten track, it could be quite difficult.  And we
saw a lot of questions.

Sincerely,

Gene Wirchenko
