more intuitive visual interface

[John Gluck]

Hi All

It's nice to have IDEs and stuff that you can use to pick and choose
objects and widgets and things. Just being able to do a pick and plunk
however doesn't make you a programmer. The danger is that in the long
run you don't know what you're doing or why. Also, it's much harder to
debug things when you didn't write the code. Last but not least, using
objects that are written to be general purpose and have feature you
don't need  and don't use tends to produce bloatware.

There is a happy medium somewhere that eases the task of programming but
still requires a programmer to do some work. I'm sure there are various
arguments for different points of view. Personally, if I wanted to do
Microslop I'd be washing Windows.

Just my 2 cents worth.
