Yes. I'm certainly not arguing in favor of DC becomming yet another of
those exceedingly simplistic, true visual programming language
environments.  But rolling their own animator is at the other
unlikely/undesirable extreme.

I had recalled memories of the animation builder as being extremely
twinky.  But it wasn't too awful, really.  For doing simple stuff, it's
okay.  Just maybe for the potential DC audience, it's more than okay.

And better than having no animation tool at all.  And it's scripting-lite
;-)
