User's do indeed build apps. They may not be able to do anything other than
build it, but they do build apps. Especially when we make it easy for them
to do so.
There are alot of users who build their own kernels as well...but that doesn't
make them developers. I for one thing would never even think of being
a kernel developer. In that sense I am a user. But I always build my own
kernel.
