Well, the MS PowerPoint analogue would be any of the tools users use to build content on the web today. My dad runs a Shopify store with a theme he liked and modified. My sisters use Squarespace for their projects and similar tools with massive theme collections to choose from. One of them, originally very non-technical, even learned Twitter Bootstrap when she wanted to go her own way.
The MS PowerPoint user doesn't care about what the Windows application developers are talking about on Windows Hacker News, either.
Also, I think we pat ourselves too hard on the back when we go "surely all this stuff is way too complicated for people." Frankly, things are just becoming easier and easier.
- askonomm 5y agoI'm not sure this makes sense. My wife is learning front-end development now as I did 15 years ago and holy shit, to get an actual job you need to basically somehow magically become a mid-level engineer. Unit/automated testing, myriad of FE frameworks, OO and FP, CSS/Less/Sass (grid, flex, cascade, etc), multiple build tools, and this just to get your first job.
