I wasn't there but i never missed an oppurtunity to rub his nose in that one... chuck says hi btw :)
.NET = Framework that's the zinger in this convo.. We agree frameworks rock, we also agree that tools play a roll in keeping the code maitenance in a happy state.. point is, if you're writing a framework to keep your codebase maintainable when a tool could in theory take over the burden, then what problem is being solved and who should own it tommorow (you own it today, but it shouldn't stop there).
