It puts people off, especially those who have no plans to ever use CW, and
there are a lot of those.
If I remember correctly, this is why the no-code Tech license was created.
Oh, want increased "privileges?" Earn them. Sometimes earning something
(Like a degree, for example.) means "learning" a few things that you may
never use.
Heaven forbid we should teach this concept to our kids. Instead they have a
whole generation of underachevers who would rather whine than achieve.
Remember the Regents!
It "puts people off," it'd almost be funny...if it weren't so sad.
