To be fair:
Most tooling really is shit, to use the colorful expression above.
We develop software with tools that would offend any "normal" user.
The typical compiler is still a monolith, almost every build process requires manual tuning, syntax highlighting and looking up library functions is the pinnacle of IDE evolution.
I fear that a similar thing to mass production has been happening for a while in software development:
A process of de-skilling that tries to tie developers to a large infrastructure, but ultimately makes them experts with a set of tools under someone else's control.
