As a "mid-level" user... (Score 2, Interesting)

..by far, the best "pseudo-programming" environment I've ever worked in was LiteStep for Windows. I just made the switch to Linux last year, and I have yet to find a tool as valuable as LiteStep, and frankly, I was surprised that there weren't more modular, easily modifiable interface creation systems like this one. Both Gnome and KDE felt like a step back when I started with the penguin. A s much as I enjoy learning about programming, as a lawyer, I really don't have time to learn about stacks and arrays and pointers and object classes. But an environment like LiteStep, where I can create and specify scriptable actions for things like buttons in "dang-near-english--" e.g. ButtonXLength 10 ButtonXWidth 20 ButtonXText "Press to start firefox" ButtonXAction !Execute "C:/firefox.exe" This is perfect. And also the kind of thing that I imagine hardcore programmers hate, but it's precisely this level of control that us Linux folks (yes, I'm counting myself among you's guys) can use as a real big selling point OVER M$. I will be trying out this Gorm ASAP.
