Perhaps you need to consider that importing is not an everyday occurrence for 
any individual. Once its complete it can be forgotten about.

I can't recall how many years ago I switched from Quicken, but that is how 
long ago I had any dealings with the import mechanism.

So everyday we need things sorted out like why there are start up troubles on 
Mac, because everyday that is happening to the Mac users. (I'm not one).

But almost by definition, import hits new users, least experienced users. 
And since the developers expanded to Windows we have seen people who are very 
new to the concepts of open source software and the manner in which it is 
built.

Would a link to the writings of Stallman and Raymond at the top of the wiki 
help some understand that the philosophy is different for this program 
compared to those which Windows users are more used to having?
