Well, it kinda depends, doesn't it?
If you're talking about code, then yes I agree 100% that it doesn't make very much sense. But if we're talking about drag-n-drop to build a GUI, it makes very much sense to use a visual tool to define a visual thing (e.g. a dialog box, or an application window) instead of fiddling around with snippets of code to build it. Perhaps the most important distinction between the two would be to say that the GUI builder is declarative, and the manual code way of building a GUI is imperative. I think that's important. That kind of thinking could also be brought back to the original question of drag-n-drop coding. While it may be inherently bad to do this for imperative coding, maybe it works better for a declarative style? Thoughts? /J
