Plus in my experience, wizards are great for newbies but in the end you always have to throw them away if you get into any kind of advanced program or need to actually UNDERSTAND what you are doing ;-) I've seen so many "programmers" who can't do anything without their wizards. It makes me fear for the quality of software all over the world :( ...one example - a guy was taking over from me on a complicated and messy Delphi contract (thankfully patching other peoples' Delphi is in my past now <g>) and I was showing him around the code during the cross-over period. I was talking about the virtual methods used in some of the classes... and he asked me what a virtual method was. I tried to explain... but his eyes glazed over and I saw he didn't understand a thing about OO. That software was doomed! I could see on his CV that he used Wizards and code helpers for everything (he mentioned them all in his CV) and warned the guys but did they listen?
