You know what?  I'm going to just retract this statement.  If .NET fits your
need, then it's the right tool.  It generates lots of code and keeps you
from having to do the scut work of building an application.

Me, I don't believe a code generator can ever match a good programmer.  And
I do believe a programmer should learn how to code from scratch prior to
using a tool to do their job.  But as more and more developers are taught to
use code generators rather than actually writing code, eventually there
won't BE any programmers, and the point will be moot.
