Absolutely of course these things matter, but i think the point of the article was to outline what was 'necessary' to begin writing usable decent applications with a proper workflow. For me urgency in getting up to speed in actually writing a functioning application was of a higher necessity than learning about core node and as part of the learning experience it bummed me out going back to writing hello world examples not getting any 'results' made me want to give it up faster. also a side note, usually as with most platforms, experience in the higher level results in experimentation lower levels.
