Not necessarily. I wrote:
"Yes, Workstation targets developers, but not exclusively, and also
developers who use fancy IDEs and who don't work with the terminal. I
just don't want this thread to degenerate into a discussion of this
lousy definition [of normal/novice users], since it's not important.
What's important is that we want Workstation to be excellent for users
who never touch the terminal."
Hm... developers which never touches the terminal?! Seems like a really
narrow group (?)
Fedora currently suffers from the impression that it is a complicated
OS
for advanced users only, and that novices (including novice developers)
should use Ubuntu instead.
I have full sympathy for this goal. Question is if it aligns with the
developer target for the workstation?
