Sure, a home user doesn't want that high-end coffee machine. But a professional Maker Of Coffee does; that's a tiny cut-down example of what you'll find in pretty much any coffee shop you visit, being used to crank out at least a dozen different drinks multiple times a day.
Or compare a kid's first toolbox to a fully-equipped carpenter's workshop full of power tools. Those power tools can rip through raw materials a lot faster than hand-powered ones, and can also rip through your flesh if you're not careful; they come with manuals, there are safety precautions you need to learn to use them.
That said it is certainly nice to:
- have all the configuration switches for your app in one place (a story: I've been using Adobe Illustrator regularly since 2000; it wasn't until like 2010 that I accidentally double-clicked on the pencil tool and found out that it has settings that don't live in the main 'preferences' window. Its defaults are IMHO terrible and made it a useless joke of a tool; once I'd found that it has settings it suddenly became the way I draw 90% of the shapes that make up my art.)
- have sensible defaults (see above parenthetical story)
- make your app easy to get running, which a hell of a lot of programmer tools certainly are not.
