This is an interesting breakdown.  I suspect that when technical people 
think of hobbyists, technical hobbies come to mind, so the grouping with 
scientists might make sense.  That does, however, leave out non-technical 
hobbyists.  I have to admit, not being a stamp collector or a quilter, I 
don't really know that there is anything for non-tech hobbyists, but I 
suspect there is.  Including the gamers totally confuses me though.  I would 
think they have more in common with the "creative" types.

I'm not sure I can propose a better breakdown, though.  It does seem like 
there is a big difference between creative and entertainment ... i.e., a 
music player has a very different audience than a music composition app. 
The former has more in common with the gamer, in fact, in terms of 
"entertainment", while the latter is probably closer to, say, an electronic 
design suite, actually "creating" something rather than using it.  Of 
course, intuitively, they are pretty far apart.

Perhaps
- "Artistic" - Creating/composing art
- "Entertainment" - Movie and music players, games
- "Techical" - Science, math and technical hobbies (because tech hobbies are 
often hard to distinguish from professional use of the same tools)
- "Hobby" - The myriad of other hobbies, collecting loads of different kinds 
of "stuff", crafts, geneaology and all those dogs and cats that tend to have 
maybe one app each

I have to admit, doesn't sound nearly as good a "What is to celebrate"
