Brent makes some great points on Steven’s essay, both worth the read.

I often think similar things about the state of development software these days.. Xcode and Interface Builder, while great, still aren’t as far as I was hoping we’d be by now.

It just seems too hard, doesn’t it?

I don’t know of a solution. Do you?
