I'd be curious to hear what those skills are. My gut is you are correct that they exist, but I'm struggling to understand where the disconnect is on so many places I've been. I'm convinced it is "the way" for many things, all told. Mario Maker and things like that are great examples. If what you are making is a Mario like game, you will almost certainly do better playing with that than you would making your own. Same for visual things. I want to like parametric modeling in the likes of OpenSCAD. However, it is are far and away inferior to traditional CAD tools. And it isn't like those do not have parametric capabilities.
