> Eventually, the interactive design stuff found its way into development with C++ and the Microsoft Foundation Classes, and there, I truly believe, code generation was used to hide a lot of really hairy MFC support that nobody wanted to talk about. Every so often for my day to day job I need to work with some really old and crusty MFC-based UI code and while Visual Studio still technically supports MFC, in practice it seems to be basically unusable. I doubt anybody at Microsoft actually tests this functionality because much of the time it fails spectacularly for me - even the templates don’t even really work. So this means I need to struggle through manually messing around with impenetrable machine-generated code files and hope for the best through extensive trial and error.
