Came here to post this. No, seriously, exactly this. That was my favorite quote out of the entire comments! FTP with curlftpfs and SVN/CVS isn't "trivial" to 99.9% of the population! It's the same reason that site

Great point. Give your customers something of value and make sure it is what they need, not just what you want to sell them. When people feel they have been treated fairly they will come back over and over. Not being taken advantage of as
