Another 20% came from hacker news, and a bit more - from lobste.rs. 
While it's not a given that those respondents are as heavily into Emacs, 
those forums tend to feature power users as well. Regarding the rest, we 
don't really know.

So 70% of the respondents have been using Emacs for more than 4 years. 
I'd say that's pretty far into the "experienced user" category. 
Certainly not people who need to be told how to disable the toolbar, if 
they want to.

And 70% of the respondents disable the toolbar. Might be a coincidence, 
but there is probably a high degree a correlation.
