I think Customize is *more* difficult and confusing than to write code. But even if it was simpler, which it isn't, I wouldn't use it because writing code is much more enjoyable and interesting. Also, code opens the door to do anything. With Customize, or any other code-producing tool, you can only produce code that is possible to produce with the tool. And what is a computer tool? Code! Thus you, as a programmer, are limited to what some other programmer thought you should or shouldn't do. > Knowing this won't stop you from doing > whatever you want, of course. ;-) Indeed, if anyone wants to use Customize, do it. Just as if anyone wants to take their game to the next level, it is right there. Remember, "Advance to fast, you catch up with death.
