Without focus on convenience a lot of people would be simply singled out from using tools many take for granted. To counteract your argument, a popular sentiment seems to be that many JavaScript programmers spend too much time writing original software rather than trying to understand and configure the existing ones... because it's too inconvenient.

> many JavaScript programmers spend too much time writing original software As a full time JavaScript developer for the past 11 years I completely disagree. JavaScript developers tend to be absolutely mortified to write any amount of original code. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invented_here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invented_here It is so bad that I just keep my open source contributions to myself and was even berated by a peer once for not using an specific code editor that featured use of my software.
