I don't have to like it, as long as I don't have to see it or mess with it.

And with the VS Designer, I don't have to. Even when customizing the UI to
suit my needs, nothing about the Designer-generated code has to be touched.

But even prior to partial classes, the IDE used code regions to collapse
the Designer-generated code. Either way, it doesn't really matter what's in
the generated code, as long as it does what it's supposed to and the
programmer doesn't have to mess with it directly (whether to customize the
GUI behavior, or for some other reason).

And in VS, that's how it is.

It's true that without the partial class feature, a Java-oriented GUI
designer couldn't be quite as seamless as what one finds in the .NET
toolset. But I think someone with sufficient motivation could in fact write
a GUI editor that works practically as well, even without that.

They just don't seem to have yet. And IMHO this is one reason why at least
some people eschew using Java for desktop apps. It's certainly a
significant factor in why I stopped bothering and went back to using .NET
for my day-to-day ad hoc projects.

I can't prove that I'm typical. But it's likely I'm not entirely unique
either. :)
