I like going the other way where as a "Programmer" I don't need to program so many things. Most "things" can be declared: text, html, lists, trees, tables, databases, ... For example in XFCE, I can add an "Applications Menu" to the menubar (panel) and use a custom menu file with a list (or tree) of programs to run. The icons, labels and how to run the programs are declared in .desktop files -- no "programming" required.
