When the tools marketed with names beginning with the word 'Visual' entered the world of programming a decade ago, it created a clutter in the world of software development. These tools promised to replace the old regimen of squinting at raw code with the ease of snapping modules together. The objective was that soon, one could do with fewer developers, work faster and better. Do you feel that the "point & click" replace raw code?

There is no substitute for programmer expertise and experience. Wizards do have their place, but it seems that their convenience should not form a backbone consideration for the development of any technology.
