I'd like to use Java the same way I use Cocoa: using my mouse to lay
out UI controls in windows, setting their targets and actions by
making graphical connections, and keeping layout out of the code as
far as possible.
This approach is considerably more rapid than building GUIs in code
and allows one to learn the clean MVC separation of the framework (not
just the language) very quickly and easily.
Sun seem to have nerfed this possibility with the way they architected
Swing. However, I don't get angry. If I ever need to use Java again,
I'll just do it the Java way, because I'm a programmer, not a Cocoa
programmer.
Are you a programmer, or just a Java programmer?
