E. If you want control and flexibility, you have to have many items to control. If you think you can have all the control you want with only ten items to control, well yes you have simplicity. IN a gui if you want customizability, you have to have a way to specify the 1000 different item you want to control. Is there a better way to organize this info? Well most likely yes. But Interviews come with a gui to let you lay out a gui and it writes the code for you. Interviews has defined very powerful objects and makes the gui programing process somewhat easier. Many times the simplest tool is the most efficient and the most difficult to learn to use. Simplicity can have many meanings. But visibilty of source code and thousands of code examples give anyone who wants to take the time, the ability to become a guru. But if you have a better way that ports with no bugs and does all that X does and works with and understands X programs and is itself easy to program, You will become a famous person. Oh rich too.
