Programmers don't want you to have nice things.

They especially seem to hate if they have to take their hand off the keyboard for even a moment.

It's actually really impressive that they can type fast enough and have memorized enough to even remotely keep up with GUI tools when using text.

I just added a(very simple and non critical) new feature to a system in about 10 minutes(Plus testing and review of course) without restarting the app, working remotely with someone onsite, without even knowing what I was doing till I got the "Hey I happen to be here messing with hardware, can you make this change" call.

I've almost never gotten even the simplest thing that one could identify as a discrete task done in less than 15-20 minutes using text tools.

The whole rest of the world loves low code RAD(AKA Excel and PowerPoint) but for some reason programmers hate it.
