It always depends on the product. I have a hypothesis that almost everyone is a "power user" of something, but that something varies from person to person. For me, I am a power user of computers and technology, but I couldn't care less about my car and just want it to get me places. Other people are the opposite, and love tinkering with their cars. Or maybe they are a power user of carpentry tools, while others (like me) just need a basic drill. I think one thing that worries me is that there are markets that cater to power users in other areas (cars, tools) but the way software is going, almost all software is being stripped down and power being taken away from all users since the non-power-user base is so large. This is especially true with mobile technology, but it is creeping into desktops/laptops as well.
