"definitively capable tools when used in certain ways". This sounds like "if it doesn't work for you is because you don't use in the right way" imo.

Reminds me of SAAP/Salesforce.

Yes, many tools work like that, especially professional tools.

You think you can just fire up Ableton, Cubase or whatever and make as great music as a artist who done that for a long time? No, it requires practice and understanding. Every tool works like this, some different difficulties, some different skill levels, but all of them have it in some way.

Yes, because that's what it is. If you seriously can't get Gemini 3 or Opus 4.5 to work you're either using it wrong or coding on something extremely esoteric.

That's an almost universal truth that you need to learn how to use any non trivial tool.
