Not being an IDE junkie myself, such a statement scares the crap outta
me. Maybe it'll be true, but I'll believe such a solution will result
in not only quick delivery but high-quality, robust, maintainable and
operational software intended to reduce the total cost of ownership over
the entire lifecycle when I see it.
Maybe it's just me from bad experiences with dealing with vendor
"customization" solutions using VBA, but if what you describe evolves
the wrong way, it won't be much better for delivering production-grade
applications than developing business-critical application functionality
in a VBA environment. It may get you there "quicker", but you may not
like where you end up.
When the hairs on the back of my neck settle down, I'll have a look at
the blog post you mentioned. :)
Cheers,
