So, transformations are involved. In which case I 
question your confidence that 'almost everyone will be 
able to learn enough of it for their purposes'. It's not 
that I doubt the _intelligence_ of (most importantly) 
graphic designers, I just doubt that they'll have either 
the time or the inclination to learn how to be
programmers.

Cheers,
