It's simplistic to replace "user" with "person" in technical discussions.

It's simplistic to replace "user" with "person" in technical discussions. Not every person described in a technical document is an end user; some are administrators, developers, designers, data objects, or other kinds of people. "User" is a role in technical systems, not a derogatory term, and we shouldn't treat it as such.

@evan I agree... that characterization has been a bugaboo of mine.
"User" is a perfectly cromulent word.
