I disagree. The difference here is that there is no "user" name for these things. Describe all these operations to a random person and ask him how to call them. Most likely he will run into trouble. "Combining shapes"? "Cutting and joining"? "Pathfinder" (the marketoid term that Adobe Illustrator uses)? All this is terribly imprecise, and if used in the UI, will be extremely confusing and limiting. That's why we push this term. Not because we "think as developers", but because there's no other equivalent term, and we want to have a term that people can use unambiguously.
