I beg to differ.

It's especially important to KDE users.  Since KDE decided to make
themes overly difficult to install having build-essential is a must
since so many themes need to be compiled from source.

I've been using Linux on and off since 1999 an not until this past year
had I ever compiled a package from source.  I finally decided to learn
it because I got tired of denying myself software that wasn't available
in package format (.deb now and .rpm previously).

I don't know squat about programming or writing software. But I have
found (as an average user) the need to compile software from source.
