I am a code control freak. If I don’t understand every aspect of how something works I can’t get comfortable using it. I don’t know a lot of programmers so I don’t know how common this is in the community. At work I program in ASP.Net using Visual Studio 2005, however, I only use it as a text editor (for the syntax highlighting and intellisense). I am not comfortable with the web project front-end since there is way too much magic going on in there. I don’t want to click a button and have the software generate a bunch of web pages, change some configuration settings and update the database. “Why?” you ask; because what if something goes wrong? I would have no idea how my own application actually works or where to begin looking for bugs. If you surf in a couple ASP.Net forums you will see a lot of users posing questions that show a definite lack of understand about how things work.
