well, I have taken that time because I was already into python (glue
everyting together, you know), but I bet you won't be very successful in
the Gauss et al. camp with that marketing slogan... also, your statement
does not sound very pythonic; the "you'll get used to it, and trust me,
even if you don't understand it now, it's great afterwards"-approach
sounds more like the pre-python era (you may insert a language of your
choice here ;-)

I don't see why numpy cannot preserve the features that are important to
you (and which I know nothing about) and at the same time make life more
intuitive and easier for 2d-dummies like myself -- in a lot of ways,
it's already accomplished, I'd say it just needs the finishing touch.

cheers,
