What might be useful, though, is any *usability* experience that you had 
with people trying it out.  What did people complain about?  What 
non-obvious features did people seem to expect should be part of the 
feature set?

(Note, though, that we're asking for *actual* experience of "I built X 
and people who used it complained of Y", not theorizing of the form "I 
could imagine I might want Y in some situation...".)
