I think the thing with this article is that it was right, but also that Microsoft finally accepted it was right. There’s no fixing WinForms, but more modern Microsoft technologies no longer work “designer first”. My VS plus Resharper can happily be used to develop from top-down or middle-out. Basically, VS didn’t make programmers dumber, but it definitely made their code worse. And Microsoft eventually started paying attention to the people who were telling them that (probably because some of them were also saying they were switching to Java). And no, I’m not smarter in environments where I don’t have IntelliSense. I just have more tabs open.
