Those examples are nonsensical. None of those are necessary to get working code. The VSCode example is particularly baffling. Firstly, I’m sure you understand there are other editors people use for code; secondly, I know even people who don’t code who have picked up VSCode for text editing and are fine with it.
I think you haven't dealt with a lot of non-coders. 90% of the world will not be able to even open a .py
90 percent of the world doesn't need to be able to open a .py, when their 20 dollar a month agent does it for them.
Just like how we don't need to be able to open our kernels and manually update the OS, the software company does it for us. It helps knowing the kernel, but you can still get the security updates even if you don't know how to.

And I think you should avoid making assumptions about people you know nothing about. That is so far from the truth it’s not even funny.

Which is nowhere near my argument. I’d appreciate if you engaged with what I said or not at all.
I don't know why you're trying to start a fight about this to be honest. I never said coders need to use vscode but yes they need to be comfortable with opening files in some editor obviously.
I'm sure you have a problem with that statement too but keep it to yourself because I don't want to hear it.
