The drag-and-drop paradigm for a compiler sounds nice (to compile just
drop the source on the compiler), but in practice I think it would be
a mmajor pain in the neck. This kind of mousing is nice for lots of things,
but command line interfaces are ultimately much more appropriate for
software development involving compilation and linking. That's why a decent
compiler on the Mac is more work than it might be, you have to create your
own command line interface of some kind. Yes, you could use MPW, but this
is not available to most MAC users.
