Well, my post describes the experience of a developer using these tools. “User” here is supposed to mean the person who combines tools to build a more complex piece of software.

Yeah, and Unix is built around the paradigm of letting people build the tools they need. People are supposed to be skilled in using the computer as a tool to accomplish tasks. Originally, IT wasn’t a defined business function. Scientists, accountants, and others, were given access to compute resources, and they were expected to learn the tools to master their jobs. Part of that, was learning how to program the computers.
