If this seems contradictory, consider that maybe a whole bunch of longtime, professional programmers are in fact novice users of programming tools, entirely separately from their skill at performing programming tasks. I think, to a large degree, we did this ourselves with endless real-programmers-use-butterflies gatekeeping.
We're more than 2 years deep into this bullshit hype wave. And still, the only concrete examples of anyone using it for anything with discernable value is stuff like "it renamed a module!" and "it did a mostly correct refactor!"
Stuff that my IDEs have been doing trivially, correctly, and deterministically for longer than my entire career. But real programmers use butterflies, so they wouldn't know that, I guess
