So who exactly are the target users then?  I think that has become less
clear since galeon1 was obviously on power user crack :)

I'd argue that everyone using galeon (or any application for that
matter) long enough, becomes a power user whether they want it or not. 
The basic functionality becomes known by heart, leaving room for self
improvement, the natural curiosity (or should I say laziness) of finding
out how to do current things more effectively.

For the record, I didn't see the point of gestures for a long time. 
They were strange and took time to learn (which I didn't at first
because I didn't feel it was worth it.)  Later I did take the time to
learn the gestures and haven't regretted it.  They do make the browsing
experience more comfortable.

The point I'm trying to make is that there are no power users per se. 
There are only users who want to find out more effective ways to use
their favorite application for their own benefit.  It would be
disappointing if it weren't possible.
