Blue. No, Yellow
Actually I would argue the converse, that many &quot;modern&quot; improvements have taken a step backwards. My first job was using SQL*Forms (an oracle product) on a Sun, it was for making CRUD apps on a tty (a terminal). We had a metric - small form (just some data fields) 1&#x2F;2 day, medium form 1-2 days (perhaps a master detail), large form (master detail detail perhaps with some popups) 2-5 days.<p>Next was VB and Delphi - drag and drop stuff on the screen, you could write whole systems in a few weeks. Had wonderful screen painters and so on.<p>Then the browser - a disaster in productivity, writing things in a tag language - no visual ide support (still).<p>Now the maximum complication of programming with MVC and languages with so many features no one person can know them all (C++ I&#x27;m looking at you, C# and Java are up there though).<p>I look forward to the next innovation
