I find that the problem usually comes from the fact that it's a pedagogical
aproach to computers and interface design. Not many programmers are thought
that at university. :-)
Furthermore the tools that are best for multimedia production / advanced
interface design still takes too many programming skills to be used by
non-proffessionals.
