Well, if you don't know how to access man-pages you are definitely not a "tech savvy user"
It's true that developers are often harsh on newbies, but more often than not it's because newbies are swallowing human resources like nobody else can. And that's annoying - and being annoyed (even when a person does not intend to annoy) brings out the worst in people.
OTOH, show the devs that you know what you're doing, and they will be more than friendly.
