There has been so much bashing of WOBuilder and XCode lately, and so little discussion of PROJECT productivity (as opposed to Java productivity) that I feel the need to add my own opinion in support of Andrew.

The point I am trying to make is that WOBuilder is my primary development tool. Not because of its WYSIWYG capabilities, which really suck. I must emphasise the distinction between WYSIWYG and "Visual Development."

WOBuilder :

- shows me a logical hierarchy of the elements in my components;

- allows me to inspect and edit them and their bindings (that is their communication API with the parent component);

- possibly most important of all, it provides me with a schema browser that allows me to visually drill down into all the objects in the system and choose appropriate attributes and methods, and link those to components in the page.

I really second this. WOBuilder might be (is) crap (stability wise) but its basic idea of visually building the HTML templates and bindings is great. I have been in WO business for the last 5 years and I work with WOBuilder in both visual and text oriented ways - and I don't want to give up on either.
