I then ask it to do the same thing in java, and it spends a half hour trying to do the same job and gets caught in some bit of trivia around how to convert html escape characters, for instance, s.replace("<", "<").replace(">", ">").replace("\"").replace("""); as an example and endlessly compiles and fails over and over again, never able to figure out what it has done wrong, nor decides to give up on the minutia and continue with the more important parts.
Spy's on the other hand, are a pain in the neck. I think they should be good in theory, but in practice they are difficult, the debuggers really don't work correctly, setting breakpoints, stepping, etc, is just broken in many cases. Would love to know if this is just a difficult bug, or something that is baked into spying.
