To add to Bob's analogy.. How many hours did you spend figuring out the "side scrolling" modes of the GIME for "Pop Star Pilot"? How many documents did you examine to learn the modes?

The point is, I had a job to do (split screen hardware scrolling) and I 
just needed to work out how to make the GIME do it.

I didn't have to spend hours frustrating over why RS-DOS wouldn't work 
or why my Assembler wouldn't work or why the system  keeps crashing. I 
could get on with the goal of what I wanted to achieve. That's fun.

Fixing the OS and tools is not fun.

It was like wanting to build the house but having to spend a lot of time 
repairing all my tools first.

It was not the dev environment I want.
