Exactly my point.

This is not writing something new for scratch, but just using an already existing framework, with minor customization for the new project.

Writing an essentially new program, which does something never accomplished before, proceeds barely faster today than what could be done in 1990, with a programming environment like those of Microsoft or Borland C/C++.
