Talk _to_ the user, rather than _about_ the user. Unless "the User" is someone other than the person reading your work. I think users appreciate it more when it seems like the writer understands _their_ problems and wants to help them be successful. There's also the possibility of confusion if you talk about "the user" -- with potential safety implications: Exactly _who_ is supposed to do _what, when?_
