Its so amazing to me that you guys had the patience to stay with coding in the early days. I have a computer engineering degree and I code professionally in Objective-C (which is about as high-level language as currently exists) and I just wouldn't be able to do that stuff on a day to day basis with the old tools. Flipping bits, advanced memory management, complex computation.... ughh!!!!!

I can drag-n-drop a NSMovieView into my app window, connect my control object to it (drag-n-drop again), give it the path of a Quicktime movie someplace on the system (maybe even run a NSOpenPanel to load the file), and play a movie file in my app in under 2 minutes and 20 lines of code. The NSTextView object comes with built in systemwide spell checker, font control, and "speak text" functionality, in a object that can be drag-n-dropped into your app.

You old-guys are troopers for putting up with what you did. Gold stars and high-fives for all of you.
