I am looking very skeptical at this LightSwitch idea. Is this some kind of wizard approach that tries to make it possible for non-programmers write complex applications? Maybe it's more sophisticated, but I am reminded by the wizards that were part of the early VFP versions. Once we interviewed a VFP developer and he showed us his code. Well, "his" code was generated by the VFP wizard, and he was in deep trouble trying to explain the code, because he didn't really understand it himself.

Fortunately, the wizard was later removed, I think in version 7.
