Upvoted because this is so true, yet it is also only half the story -- let's call it the ignorant or lazy users half. The other half is the ignorant or lazy developer side: that is, developers who don't properly prioritize the 90% use case, and who don't appreciate or understand the natural mental models they should be accommodating and treating as problem constraints.
