I feel this is an important factor in this discussion: there are various
different users: for the purpose of this thread, lets assume two groups of
users, affectionatly named "techie" and "non-techie".
A techie user can (relatively easily) learn to compile software, they have
some *interest* in techie topics, like compiling.
The non-techie user, however, wants to make a new radio hit. They have *NO
interest* in techie: they wish to *use* a software. Without complications.
In light of the two groups of users above, I think it shows that Filipe is
catering for the "non-techie" audience, and allowing them to use software.

I'll agree: the "non-techie" group is growing, who wish to use, more than
to "techie".
