Re: Graphical Programming Environments (was: ANNOUNCE: Release of Vit al, an interactive visual programming environment for Haskell)

I love religious wars. Having been around awhile, I make a prediction. This will thrash a while, those who like graphical environments will make their points, those who like textual environments will make their points, no one will convince anyone else, and eventually it will die down. In fact (in my opinion), people operate differently. Some operate better graphically, some operate better textually, and I'm glad both tools are available. Me, I'm a text person, but I know folks who think better in pictures, bless 'em. Let the games begin. Dave Barton EDAptive Computing
