If by "power user" you mean "enemy of the state", there's a lot of software you'd be better-off avoiding.

"enemy of the state" depends a lot on the current state of the state.

Eg in England you're already an enemy of the state when you protest against Israel's actions in Gaza. In America if you don't like civilians being executed by ICE.

This is really a bad time to throw "enemy of the state" around as if this only applies to the worst people.

Current developments are the ideal time to show that these powers can be abused.

That is a strange viewpoint. Are we calling everyone who wants some control over their computers enemies of the state?

Criticizing the current administration? That sounds like something an enemy of the state would do!

Prepare yourself for the 3am FBI raid, evildoer! You're an enemy of the state, after all, that means you deserve it! /s
