Thanks for your input. Yes, this is always one of the hardest things in UI design: Do I optimize for the "power user" (yes that dreaded word again) or the common user? Can I do both without any compromises? Besides possible monetary benefits it would immensely calm my ego as a developer having made something both easy and powerful. A good example of this principle IMO is Apple Pages and Numbers. They are both succeeding at being powerful/expressive when you need it (Cmd-alt-i) and easy for the other times. It's just a shame that they haven't been updated and still lack some important features like plugins and bibliography.
