Come on, guys. Anyone who has done any serious programming in VS.net, knows that there is much more to it than drag and drop cute little widgets. Our organization doesn't use this stuff at all...we deal with the actual code (C# specifically) and never touch the draggy droppy stuff. The widgets are available for those "hobbyists" who want the easy solution, but there is just so much more there. More power to those hobbyists, I say - at least they are venturing into the world of programming. If they want more, VS certainly allows for them to delve *much* deeper. This mindless anti-everything MS bigotry is just so very tiresome and annoying and reflects ever so poorly on silly posters who talk about environments of which they haven't the faintest clue. It is the very worst of /. ignorance - blatant bigotry and elitism without facts and investigation. So please...just stop the crap. Stop the ever loving crap!! This rank ignorance just reflects ever so poorly on the entire software development community. Can't we all just get along?
