Yes, and we should do all hand written process diagrams and flow charts and so forth - yes, thats nice in the ACADEMIC world, where time is measures in MONTHS and sometimes YEARS, but the reality is, the CIO wants a dinky front end to the database, and he wants it by the end of the day - to him, he doesn't *care* how you do it, just get the damn thing done.
I'm sorry, but my time shouldn't be spent trying to hand code widget code to a damn file when it should be a matter of dragging some swing widget to a form, double clicking, assigning some code, and voila, 4 hours later, problem solve - Happy CIO, happy me, and a jug a beer for all concerned.

Oh yes I totally agree. We do need good IDEs. There is no doubt about it. My point is out of all IDEs I have worked with so far....besides IDEA Netbeans has shown the most amount of improvement. Now it is probably because the previous versions were so horrendous! But nevertheless. My only gripe is startup speed with large Java apps like Netbeans. I hope Mustang takes care of that.
