Very few tools designed today have any features that facilitate learning. Developers don't understand how learning works and don't really care. Operating systems mostly washed their hands of this issue as well. It's a mess.

I agree. Jetbrains did well with their IDE I think, they show context aware suggestions often, but in a non-obtrusive way. This is effective because the information is there when you need it, not when you have no idea what to do with it.
