Why should they be mutually incompatible? Abstracting some tasks to be easy enough for point-and-click use can definitely also co-exist with options that students, professionals and hobbyists can toggle to open up the underlying layers, at least with free software. With proprietary systems this whole discussion is IMO futile on the technical side. Vendors of proprietary systems can only be regulated by markets and laws, which has so far not worked except generally in their favour. So I wasn't for an obsession with any one level of user but for catering to all levels of users, which seems to be technically possible now, so why isn't it happening? Instead we get closed-source systems with vendor lock on the one extreme or free systems which grandmas (which stands for any non-tech user) can't use as easily as their closed source counterparts. Why can't we have freedom (as in open development/transparency, not price) & ease-of-use together?
