Being a developer of a program that can also run on some operating
system does not overlap at all with being also a USER of that
operating system. That's where *my* problems come from, probably.

That is, AFAIU pip, cpan, gem, npm etc... came to be exactly because
each community of developers could not afford, or be bothered anyway
with, compiling and resolving dependencies of their software on any of
the platforms it may be made to run. Which makes sense on THEIR end,
but makes lives of "power users" much more complex and miserable than
20 years ago, when in my experience all one would need to learn to be
a power user were cpan and make config/make/make install.
