Dev console is a debugger, not a code editor. It's useful for us to assist in developing web applications. It's far less useful for a non-engineer to tinker around with and make simple things.

You can't install npm packages. There's no simple UI to alter DOM like via drag and drop. Theres's no pre-built components (besides html) to easily create more advanced functionality. They have to write JS from scratch to add events. Managing more than 1 liners is a pain.
