Are _*vernacular software developers*_ the same thing as 'end user' programmers?  What about _dilettante programmers_ ?

somewhat related recent thread: <https://futureofcoding.slack.com/archives/C5T9GPWFL/p1703941495921419>

The paper quite explicitly proposes "vernacular" as replacement term instead of "end user".

_"dilettante programmers"_ sounds to me as pretty negative.  It also fails one of the points the paper makes against dichotomy of "professional" vs. "non-professional": Many of the end user programmers are in fact quite professional, just in other professions.
