Also, this WYSWIG thing is totally overrated and mainly only useful for beginners, as you see exactly nothing once your components get a bit more complex.

Anjo, I mostly agree with you but I'd like to offer this thought:

When I first worked through Apple's WO tutorial, the dragging to create bindings was Just So Cool that it was the carrot that kept me going through some of the harder, more confusing parts. I kept thinking that once I got the hang of it, building a WO app was going to be so much *fun*. Of course it didn't take me long to figure out that it's overrated, like you said, and not that useful for anything complex. But I think having it available is good for new users, and clearly there are at least some experienced users who like it.

I'm not suggesting you run out and build this yourself, but I'd like to encourage those who like this functionality to consider it. Even if it only worked f or simple stuff, to be used as a teaching tool, I think it would be beneficial.
