Pretty much. There are many things that are still done in computation because someone did something cool with it once upon a time.
But QW23's got a point and as I said, until I figure out how to get a new brain I can't explain what I'm trying to explain.
Mind, I should suggest watching Mark Guzdial's Keynote at last year's Snap!con.
Take note of the part where he queries what users want versus what "computation" wants and think about that, also think about the part where his brief to make Teaspoon languages included the instruction "Don't scare them off" and he didn't think of that as a WARNING, instead he decided that was a challenge.
