As I click and drool through yet

As I click and drool through yet another repetitive project operation that can only be done in the XCode GUI, I wonder... if this had been the dominant computing paradigm when I learned to code, would I have gone into programming? Or would I have run screaming from the absolute horrors of mousing through so many operations that would be trivial if they just gave me a human readable text file.
(And, yes, I have been known to edit project.pbxproj files with emacs.)

using xccsettings files? that can reduce some of the point-n-grunt. But yeah, using a gui for build settings,
and a gui that freaking CHANGES from version to version, so you have to re-learn muscle memory because
some bored designer thinks that editing half of the info.plist settings in one place and the other half in some
other place was a good idea.
