Sean, For the record, PLUM is not, primarily, a code generator. It has a code generator, which is quite a time saver. But I would venture a guess that most PLUM users (this is especially true of advanced users) make very little use of the generator.
It is the framework, the custom tags and built in components that make PLUM all that it is. Of course creating add, list, edit, delete and search pages or master/detail pages or lists with embedded search functions in just a few minutes is quite nice too. That of course is what the generator is for. And Plum works with all child/parent related tables just like they were individual tables, so even in the IDE, you can get quite sophisticated. Additionally, Plum creates a "standard", an "alteranate" (both the standard and alternate also have large type style sheets) and print style sheets. All of which are, of course, customizable. You can also add other "alternate" styles and allow your user to pick which style they want to use. In a addition to the css, all you need to create is a thumbnail size screen shot of all the different styles you want your user to be able to choose from. It really is easy and very well done. You should grab yourself a wincrap box and try it for a few days. You will be amazed how far down the rabbit hole goes.
