I am indeed claiming that tooling only gets you so far, if you don't have good support designed into the runtime. I take you at your word that you didn't use the sorts of workflows I've described, but I did, and I still do, to the extent that I can, and it was common place among, for example, the programmers working on the bauhaus OS or the ones working on the SK8 development environment.
