To save people the time of not having to read it all to know how to do something so simple as to install it when it could just be made to install itself?
The code is open and there for you to read. What you're actually saying is you're too lazy to read and understand it because the world owes you something. amirite?
Having a "great" understanding of how a Linux system is tied together is fine for the now, but in five years time, will be useless as things change so why not spend your time being productive in the now.
It actually leads to a fantastic product and more free time because you're not having to babysit kids who think the world owes them something because they can code 'hello world' in python.
Not to hijack, but what are the well-known cheap companies that will take a standard PCB output format, create the board and place the components and then pop it in the post. Assuming sensible MOQs. I'm in the UK, so I guess it'd be China rather than UK / EU. Though there'd be lead solder issues I'm sure.
Also forgot to point out, you can buy keys with a transparent cover over the top on ali so you can shove a piece of paper underneath the transparent bit to use as labels.
I get this, but an IDE should be invisible and grow as you do and not require you to learn lots of janky things before it becomes a little bit useful for you.
Need the basics, great, here they are. Don't understand some advanced feature? Well the IDE has it here, but it isn't in your way, mess with it as and when you want. It'll still be there.
I don't think one IDE does everything for different languages and its ok to swap editors depending on your workflow, your project and your ever-changing skillset.
I'm using Mate and it allows me to easily define custom shortcuts to open apps and so on. I suppose autoIt / the linux variants / custom script can add additional functionality to the keypad as well!
