Yes, David J. Cardinal,
This would be a HUGE help in spreading Java to Web-page designers, and
for turning their trepidation into glee. I've not used VB, but ToolBook.
It is fantastic fun, very creative, and is wonderful in it's reuse and
adaption of existing ideas/objects.
One of the worrying things about Java for Businessmen / Managers /
Designers is they are scared of "programming" beyond HTML. A really
delightfully "Java" graphical HTML editor would be the fastest way to
bring aboard the Java ship designers/decision-makers and intergrate them
with programmers. If you've used Toolbook, you'll know exactly what I
mean. I'm sure the same thing happens to a company that uses Delphi.
Everyone can start using the same "language". You'd then get the
_decision-makers_ and artists converting the programmers over!
