People who use Excel, maybe. There are a lot of people who do "programming" in their job without their job title containing "programmer". I can absolutely believe that these days there are people out there brewing up little JS scripts to help them with their day-to-day tasks.

I can't. At least if we're talking about people who can't use a CLI or read JSON.

I personally got my start in programming through Access -> VBA -> VB.NET -> C# -> JS/Ruby/Python/whatever. The first four involved little to no CLI work.
