Your ire is understandable, if I were making claims as you suggest.
But I'm not.
I've heard such claims myself, and they annoy me, too.

Slamdunk doesn't exempt you from working,
but you'll spend a lot less time working on UIs.
Slamdunk doesn't exempt you from thinking,
but you'll have to think in a particular way to use it.
Unlike far too many tools, this one doesn't claim to
"Do anything you want! Any way you want!"
It does *one thing* extremely well:
it builds reusable forms-based UIs *very* quickly.
And it does this one thing *one way*:
there's a formal design pattern that you actually have to follow.
Do it this way,
and significant portions of your UI really will self-assemble.
If you need something the pattern doesn't allow,
there is a straightforward path for you to take,
but you will quickly learn that you don't need such things very often.

Well, let's see here:

It's clearly labeled as an announcement,
such as I've seen from other reputable contributors to this group.
You might have taken this discussion offline,
but apparently you want others to read what you wrote.
I might have taken this offline also,
but your bogus email address doesn't allow me to do that.

If I haven't told you everything you might wish to know in four lines,
this is non-trivial software, and a commercial product besides.
I provide a link where you can read more about Slamdunk if you want to.
If you want to know more than that, you know where to find me.
Be sure to put "Slamdunk" in the subject line.

Best regards,

Steve
