A guy on r/WritingWithAI is building a new writing assistant tool using python and pyQt. He is not a SE by trade. Even so, the installation instructions are:

- Install Python from the Windows app store

- Windows + R -> cmd -> pip install ...

- Then run python main.py

This is fine for technical people. Not regular folks.

For most people, these incantations to be typed as-is in a black window mean nothing and it is a terrible way of delivering a piece of software to the end-user.
