I think being able to google your way out of a problem is worth more than being able to grag a grid to a form, drag a query to a grid and call it a day...
Why should I have to spend Googling for how to write a H264 decoder when I can just drag one, written by people who know it really well, onto my surface?
I know that a lot of people like to argue that these people "don't understand what they're doing". Most Ruby developers don't understand much below a single level of abstraction presented by the language either.
