I'm a coder at heart as well, and had the same initial
reaction to Cecilia.  Fortunately for me, I stuck with
the interface enough to become semi-facile with it.  I
still go to the 'vi' editor when I am ready to make a
piece, but Cecilia is wonderful for trying out new ideas,
and getting settings and function generation values in
a real-time fashion.

I would look at Cecilia as a beautiful draftsman's tool
(Autocad?), and strict coding, along with wrapper programs
and Makefiles as the cranes, buldozers and trucks.

Now I've really lost it.
