How can there be a serious development tool without line numbers in the demo?

Seriously, who is this targeted at? Because it can't be developers.

To post screenshots of a developer tool without including line numbers is just plain deceptive

Umh... I always hide the line numbers column. Why is it useful?

The developer tool can be configured to not display line numbers (and who knows, maybe it comes configured that way by default), so how are the screenshots deceptive?
