I agree partly. The Code Gallery doesn't exist just for the people who can't code, though. The snippets on here can help you save time while coding. Also, you just can't know everything. Especially on Graal, you get to know things by trial and error. Lots of threads on the Code Gallery show you how to do stuff which isn't documented anywhere; this thread is an example.

So, this is a place to dump code for people who understand it. But, at the same time, it's a place to release code to "help and more". There's a clear line between code for beginners and code for experienced coders though. People new to coding shouldn't start off with anything fancy like task bar buttons in the first place. Besides, who wants to use Graal's task bar anyway? I believe that new coding monkeys should not try to learn much by looking at complicated stuff. If they'd learn things one by one, they would probably understand Andrew's snippet after the lessons on GUI controls and catchEvent().
