Maybe because those "geek-fascists" (aka "real programmers") are the people who wrote the system, and wrote the tools. Tools that _they_ would want to use. Which is sensible (from their point of view), no? If these others (the "real people" you speak of) who like flashy gui tools really are "real programmers", perhaps they'll write their own tools ;-)
