>> Are Visual Studio users just operators of an IDE? >Many of them are operators and it's freaking painful to watch.

And many of them create awesome games, OSes, applications and websites that hundreds of millions of people find useful and enjoy. Funny how an open-ended tool works, isn't it?

>Well, actually Microsoft has yet to create a replacement for Latex.

They have EPS.

>This comparison is not fair because HTML itself was meant to be rendered in a graphical interface.

So you mean GUI is for consumers and CLI is for creators? But is Photoshop CLI or GUI? What about Eclipse?



Regarding Visual Studio operators, I don't think you and bad_user are talking about the same people. I suspect you would eventually find, if you talked it over more, that the people he labels as "operators" are not the ones creating the awesome games, OS's, and other software.
