I think he is of the opinion that because everything is easy to click a button, then it must not be developer friendly. I don't call what all the "developer friendly" environments do developer friendly, I call them newbie friendly. Real developers can aren't limited by their IDE, and can do all of those things the IDE promotes as new features, with tools on the command line.
New developers, ie someone like me, need hand holding until we figure stuff out. But the guys selling Developer friendly IDEs are selling to newbies, the old hats all have the exact environment they need, because they created them.
I simply don't confuse marketing with reality.

Which is great, but not the same thing.
The #1 developer friendly thing that can done is having great documentation, and that's something that certain projects on linux do pretty well, and other projects do horribly.
