Poor developer experience presents artificial barrier to entry

The development model is needlessly obscured behind a maze of command line utilities, processes and repositories. Developers need to be able to make quick associations between package contents and the source which supports them. Specific assistance is required to be able to locate repositories, visualize dependencies and fetch code and build tools. It is important that developers be able to get from an observed package bug to a working build environment as quickly as possible. If this is enabled then there is a greater scope for opportunistic bug-fixing.

The developer experience is as important as the user experience if we are to attract Windows developers to the platform. Developers Developers Developers Developers ... !!!
