as I said, I intended to give this to non-programmers too,
many of which will never use it again later.
 
Also, you never know in advance whether you will like it, or whether t= he=20 installation
will just fail or whether it won't work for other reasons.
So the number of users who try it is much larger than the number of=20 those
who finally adapt it and use it for their programs.
 
So easy installation and easy understanding and easy starting with=20 simple
programs are very important IMO.
 
Maybe someone can make a "light" version for beginners who j= ust want=20 to
see what it's about ?
