What Makes a Design Seem 'Intuitive'
Early adopters just want something COOL and NEW and are intrigued if something is complicated and half-formed. They're most likely hack a half-finished linux program and MAKE it work, and they'll be proud that they're first on the block to have it and to have it set up just for THEM.
Most folks wait until it's doable with a minimal amount of instruction with an outcome that matters to them.
Luddites will only learn when they have NO alternative and their need for the outcome outweighs their personal reluctance.
Every group has all three types of people, and identifying and responding to the needs of all three groups is what seperates technology that moves forward from technology that dies on the vine.
The world is littered with GREAT ideas that can't get past the early-adopter stage.
