   Well, interface-builders have been around since version 1.1 of the OS,
   according to a couple people.  That's 5 years.  In that time, some rather
   good programs have been written.  Still, they haven't gained very
   widespread use.  

   In groups like comp.sys.amiga.programmer (and its predecessor,
   comp.sys.amiga.tech) IB style programs have been discussed.  Several
   programmers spoke up at times and said that they didn't need software like
   that -- that the Amiga's GUI was simple enough to program as it is.

I question that I can't answer so maybe you can.  Are the Amigas IB's
and Objects as refined as the ones on the NeXT?
