Sadly, I'm almost certain that 99% is an underestimate. The people you find in these forums tend to be the most vocal and (I think) knowledgeable but I also think that we are an extreme minority.

I suspect the best we can hope for is to convince them to bury an advanced menu with the options we would like. Hyphenation is two other cans of worms (RMSDK and ACCESS are different programs and from what I have seen, handle hyphenation in very different ways).
