[Seaside] Design of WAComponent(s)

[stephane ducasse]

Come on.
I'm far from a newbie (at least I believe it) and this is boring to
develop from scratch the same. I imagine that lot of people reuse  
their own component.
When I write a desktop app, I'm not a newbie still I like to reuse  
window, buttons and label.
At least I'm not interested in knowing how scrollbar and other details  
work.
Where is the newbie here?

Why people like to take extreme statements.
