You can just start up Eclipse or Visual Studio (the original) and have the exact same experience. That's how I started with Java and zero Linux knowledge.
What you are really complaining about is the fact that nobody is there to shout in your face that these options exist.

Can you do that for node.js, like the person in the linked article wants to use?

I haven't used it but https://glitch.com looks like it's what they want.

This reminds me of the timeless quote:
> Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.
You can take that either way :)
I CAN use the command line. I know very well how to do it. I have done it for decades. But when I program for iOS, I don't need it. The tooling is good enough that I never need to. So I don't.
There's no reason this couldn't be the case for other environment too. There's nothing magical about iOS other than that Apple actually values developer convenience and put the effort in that others are unwilling to do.
