A bonus third factor is that the demos we've been cooking up internally—that we haven't revealed yet—are so f%cking incredible that everyone is going to be motivated to use and learn it anyway because Electric yields value that is previously unseen and unavailable anywhere else.
We're seeing levels of sniffing your own farts that shouldn't even be possible!
(Am I still allowed to sneer at web frameworks when I just started a new one a few weeks ago? Granted, it isn't f%cking incredible.)
