I really did not notice anything about the stated audience that made
me think it was fundamentally different from the Workstation audience.

Plasma Case 5 maps more or less to Workstation Cases 2-4 (various
sorts of developers).
Plasma Case 2 maps more or less to Workstation Case 1 (students).

While scientists and content creators are listed cases the wording
suggests that power users and developers are the core audience of the
Plasma Product.

It isn't easy for me to see these two target descriptions as not
overlapping for the most part. Maybe someone can add some explanation
here so I can understand the differences you see in the audiences.
