Not yet, I wish to make sure it doesn't happen in future :-)

Till now, more or less, yes. But they are already featured prominently, 
so the casual user already must ask himself 'What is this?'. 
He should not have to ask himself this question.

That is just the point I am trying to make: 
Please make sure the build modes do not dominate.

The build modes are very useful for advanced users. I do not question that.
I just want to indicate that the casual user IMHO should not be confronted 
with them. (or as little as possible)
