I didn't mean to dismiss other people experiences. The reason I'd like
to orient this discussion toward use cases, is that these are easier to
work with (more concrete/well defined) than user experiences. I'm sure
people use it in many ways I can't think of, and what I'd like us to do
is be able to put a finger on what these ways are, and how the current
API could be improved in a way that satisfies them all (if possible).

Noted. For the record I used in for its "flawed or imperfect"
definition.
