If you read HN and your organisation treats you like 'Joe user', I'd say you probably feel pretty oppressed.

Scoop is aimed pretty squarely at HN readers, not so much at people that are ok with working at an organisation that doesn't trust them to run programs on their computer.

Some of us work in compliance based industries where its a necessity rather than a choice. We still use what could be considered a favourable stack on HN but we deal with masses of sensitive personal data. We're not oppressed: we're professionals. Big difference.

We trust people to run programs on their computer, just not ones that download other programs and ones that have dubious signing or security policies.

The prevailing attitude amongst startups and even big businesses of blasting everything carelessly with shotguns because it's the latest and greatest needs to die. Quality and therefore trust is suffering.
