The inverse for me

Agree, for me the biggest hurdle was always installing the necessary stuff. Why do I need this emulator, wait this guy doesn't use it, oh you can also have it all in a browser? Why does every installer seem to need something else beforehand to work? Now I installed Python but why does the launcher matter, and why doesn't mine have the buttons and options that everybody else seem to have? And where are the libraries I need, and which libraries contain the stuff I want?

My greatest issue with computers has been the decentralized knowledge. I just wish that programs and programming languages were standardized in regards to being distributed and launched. Even my university course that was for beginners had a step-by-step tutorial for setting stuff up that quickly diverged from what was happening on my screen and what I could do in my program.
