I ordered the GUI Builder - only then did I think.
Productivity it will enhance, but only if you do the dance.
So stay in step, keep to the road
and never ever hack the code.
The following is from an article at: Hacknot titled "Beware the GUI Builder":
Twas WYSIWYG, unsightly code
Did file and frumble by the way;
All grinsy were the morrow-knows,
And the dumb sooths outlaid.
Beware the GUI Builder, son!
The drag that drops, the cut that pastes!
Beware the graphic god, and shun
The nerdious interface!
He took his QWERTY keys in hand,
Long time the dialog he fought-
So rested he by the Widget tree,
And sat awhile in thought.
And, as in WIMPish thought he sat,
The GUI Builder, icons lame,
Came blitting through the worldly web,
And googled as it came!
Grid bag! Grid bag! And layout do
The QWERTY keys went clicker-clack!
With one last call, he uninstalled
And went compiling back.
And hast thou slain the GUI Builder?
Come to my arms, my beanish boy!
O wizard real! Just look and feel!
He buffered in his joy.
'Twas WYSIWYG, unsightly code
Did file and frumble by the way;
All grinsy were the morrow-knows,
And the dumb sooths outlaid.
With apologies to Lewis Carroll
