>That's not the problem. The problem is a lack of development tools.
There are some categories that need improvements (debugger and gui builder come to mind) but I don't agree that it is predominantly development tools or the lack thereof that hinders development. At least I hope so, being somewhat involved in that area with GoldED. I find these issues more problematic:
- lack of developers
- lack of good documentation
- lack of basic technologies in the OS (html, xml, unicode, regexp etc)
- fragmented approach to user interfaces
- dated APIs (gfx library, dos)
As to development tools, what I personally miss most is a first class object-oriented point-click-paint user interface builder and resource editor for dialogs, menus, catalogs, bitmaps etc.
