But users can grow accustomed to what an icon means over time right?

Only if you use the same program all the time, and only if that program never changes.

I use Adobe Illustrator a couple of times a year. There's no way I'm going to remember how to do very much from the ten minutes I used it in March to the next time I need it in October. And by then, the process is likely to have changed because the program got auto-updated by the Almighty Cloud™.
