The point is, if things in Fedora require "run this bit of GUI as root"
in order to function, we've done a poor job

nonsense

"code-editor" needs to run as root to edit *correctly* root-owned config files and yes i am magnitues faster open a dozen config files in a GUI editor with tabs then with nano which is fine for (only small) single files

maybe you only have dedicated configuration tools in your mind, i prefer to install *nothing* which is not strongly needed on machines and the way i do things is backed by running 8 years a dozen Fedora servers never reinstalled from scratch
