Authoring Carvel objects is clunky and is too steep of a learning curve
Describe the problem/challenge you have
@alexbarbato raised this issue: Long story short, currently there is no "developer" tooling for Carvel to help folks write their own overlays, Packages, Apps, etc. Teams are forced to iterate somewhat in the dark and/or invest the time to become experts which can be a very large hill to climb. While I think Carvel tooling is really good, I have not had a single conversation with a user where once we have to go even 1 layer deep into any component of Carvel that they don't instantly feel overwhelmed by the knobs and over flexibility.
