"Power user", to me, means someone who knows a lot of trivia about specific software but no underlying theory; none of their knowledge transfers to any other system, so their domain knowledge is constantly being obsoleted. Having some power user traits is inevitable and desirable, but being just a power user is a stage you should strive to outgrow.
I admit that that's just a knee-jerk reaction based on my idiosyncratic definitions.
Smile when you say that. ;)
