I wasn't asking for replication so calm down I was just saying a more friend setup to start with, when I open Gimp or libre office I know where most of the tools are there and easy to find and I didn't have to look up a Manual.

Knowing the concept behind the tool is fine but if you don't know how to recreate that concept because you can 't find similar tools, it's not helpful

I will look at more tutorials and guides 

But do get want it mean?
