If you're going to be spending a substantial part of your waking life working on a tool, spending a few hours to get the basics right is not an unreasonable ask. And as it turns out, all non-trivial programming languages that have some sort of packaging system or module system have some version of the problems involved. You don't see people complaining that musical instruments are unreasonably complex when that complexity usually gets solved after a couple months of training, or when someone who wants to basic woodworking has to have at least a passing knowledge of the different types of hardwoods, MDFs, and essential joinery techniques. Hate to say, but it definitely sounds like skills issues.
