I don't know about 0.01% of all computer users (certainly not desktop users), but I am comfortable acknowledging myself as a small market segment. I do find it frustrating when some people claim that there shouldn't be operating systems or working environments for people like me, or that a single way of working (usually the default Aqua interface) is clearly and scientifically the best operating environment invented so far.

1/10,000 - that's probably about right man . . . strace, gdb - not saying your criticisms aren't valid for your work style but how many folks do you think actually know of things like that? Developers on linux for sure, but what number do you think is realistic? I'd go with you as an extremely small market segment here :P
