Or do you think common software for amateurs is pie in the sky?

Yes - I think your fixation that amateurs "should stop reinventing
'the' wheel" (by having some standard 'canned' software solution) may
be a bit misguided. I think what we need is not a "common" standard
solution, but (to use your 'wheel' metaphor) a selection of readily-
accessible "tires", "rims", "spokes" and "hubs" - i.e, components
and design patterns in generic form, which can be adapted and applied
to specific systems as desired (rather than forcing one to design the
vehicle systems architecture around "The Standard Software"...)

But that's just my 2 cents... I don't expect everyone to agree.
