There is a difference between a programmer, coder, scriptor, and software engineer. "Programmer" was put there because there is no better term for the form that they program in, as it is not the same as other forms of writing code. Programmer, as I associate it, implies that the user is coding in a programming language. Visual programmer would be a better term to put in the "programmer" spot, but at the time I could not think of a better term.

I have editted my post to reflect the terminology.
