But as you said, the reason is not because CAB is overly complex but rather because I came from an embedded systems background and I had very little foundation for object oriented design patterns, IoC, etc etc.. Not sure how Ayende got his head stuck so far up his arse, but in my book anyone who develops applications using Notepad (or claims to) has some serious mental problems. Vim or Emacs is one thing, at least they have syntax highlighting and autocompletion (with extensions).
