I don't think we should aim at the general user, because not only is that nebulous, it has all of those same problems.
That happens to be what every successful desktop (and mobile) OS have been doing. They built a system that is generally useful, they don't really care whether you are a developer, graphics designer, gamer or whatever.
If the operating system works for the general user case it works for pretty much everything else (it is just a matter of installing the right applications / tools).
An operating system designed for a specific user type is doomed to end up being a niche OS.
