Dabo had been around for several years before I got the Class Designer
to the point where it was reliable enough for real production use. In the
meantime, coding your UIs by hand was the only option, and thanks to Python's
ability to quickly run your code, is almost as fast to do in the hands of a
good coder.
I still remember in the Fox 2.x days that there were devs who shunned
the whole .scx stuff, and coded all their forms in PRGs. It was simply that
that's the way they learned to do it, and they got very good at it, so they saw
no reason to change.
