I'm a reasonably typical non-technical user - much of this discussion has gone over my head. But I'm having fun learning about some of the more (moderately) advanced features of the program. I'll never use it to it's fullest; I have no need for recipies and regex (whatever that is) and things like that...
But I found Calibre to be pretty intuitive to use for basic use - add a book, modify metadata, convert... yeah, setting up some of the preferences in advance (custom columns ftw - now if I can only remember which of the books in my collection I've read already, so i can set that flag appropriately) would have been nice, except I didn't know what I needed until I'd used the program a fair bit. Being asked to set up preferences that I didn't understand in the setup wizard would have only confused me and turned me off the program.
When I feel more daring, or have a need for some of the more advanced uses, I can learn about them. Even if I don't need them *right now*, I'm glad those more advanced uses are there.
So I guess what I'm saying, Kovid, is that I like the UI just as it is.
