Same with me. I know dBASE and some Perl and PHP, but the
best stuff has always been the easy one, not only because
the majority of coders aren't on expert C++ level.
My logic is that any program execution follows a logic and
flow itself, and that alone should be enough to put all
logic and flow options into popup boxes. Sure, you gotta
create/write the structure, but the IDE should take care of
all obscure stuff.
