My kids have no idea what a codec is. Still they record and play videos and audio messages all the time. I don't know in which world or time you are living, it

  This is a fair point, there's a lot you can get away without worrying about the complexity today, and that amount is certainly steadily growing (which is great!). But particularly on the creation side, if you say, try and combine a vector created in one program with a bitmap created in another, you'll likely encounter some issues (e.g., color profiles), or taking an animation created in one program and overlaying it over a video in another, you'll often need to know your codecs. Or exporting a video optimized for social media, e.g., videos shared on Instagram and Twitter often have heavy compression artifacts. I'm really looking for seamless creation and sharing freely combining media from different programs, with the same ease as cut, pasting, and editing text. (As well as interfaces that are as easy to use as manipulating pen and paper with your hands.)
