heh... I was once in a Design Patterns seminar with someone who was using TogetherJ as their IDE ( This was in April - I was using IntelliJ and making converts left and right). One of our projects was to design a piece of functionality using the patterns we had discussed that day. They quickly went to their design patterns wizard and voila! they had their code...
They couldn't explain how it worked and why all those abstract implementations of interfaces were neccesary, but by gum they had their code!
