I was really hoping to see more discourse, more opinions, more energy...

The most important *to you*, Dave.

Let me rephrase. there is no *absolute* "most important feature of the 
software". It's a matter of personal, *relative* perception. The 
question is: what is the most important feature of the software *in the 
mind of each individual*? and how can we appeal to that inner image in 
the majority of individuals?

you and I may share a similar view about "multi-thousand dollar 
*c*ommercial *s*oftware". Is this what the majority of people *here* 
see? likely. Is this what the majority of people in the general public 
see? I doubt it.

To me an iPhone/iPod is a "jail". And to you?

I am afraid that "Freedom" is not high on the list of what appeals to 
the general public. Sure, everybody likes free beer, but free speech?

Some prefer to be free to choose; and some prefer to be free of the 
burden and responsibility that come with choice.

Voters turn out (at least in the Western world) speak clearly about the 
majority's preferences.
