And so can IDE generated code from drag and drop controls. Visual Studio and many others have this out of the box but there's plenty of companies that do well selling exactly this like telerik. I personally don't and been doing it the "hard way" since the beginning because it feels less confining. And I don't want to rely on an IDE to build something. Plus the code it generates was always kind of kludgy.
