Skip, I understand that newbies would benefit from viewing sites that were created with CC software and in no way would I disagree on this with you.
However this site is not only populated by newbies. I have seen those with more experience also come here.
I think a newbie as well as an experienced person can benefit from viewing a website that has been created with CC software next to other software. To the newbie it shows what they can do on the long run and to the experienced person it shows that they can combine CC software with any other software they may already be using.
An option would be next to the link to place the words : built with CC html editor, CC form builder, pictures edited with Adobe Photoshop, Special effects created with flash and shop created with CC cart. This way people would know how the website they are viewing has been created ... is this an idea?
Then again after a long 17hrs day I could be wrong about everything and anyting as my brain is starting to crash :
