The target audience is very much _NOT_ real developers. Think of it as "lesson 2", where "lesson 1" is something like x-ray goggles: https://webmaker.org/en-US/tools/x-ray-goggles/ for someone who _knows nothing_ to start with. Your average (not geeky) 12-year old or 70-year old, for example.

I'm a computer science graduate (aka, I hope I'm a geek) who did the whole html / css track at Code Academy in about 3 hours (aka, hopefully I'm past lesson 0, I haven't taken any web dev classes or some such ever) but trying to keep all the possible tags in my brain at once is still hard. I feel like this kind of tool does nothing if the newbie doesn't know the tags to match the ideas they have for the page.
