I would assume hes talking more about the actual control Profiles/Drivers that manufacturers provide for us to use in our "program".
Would you like to take a stab at how many DLLs, standard libraries, and toolkits NOT developed by Crestron are utilized in their programs and devices? Thousands. Crestron's S#Pro is
literally a stripped-down, sandboxed version of Microsoft C#/.NET, programmed in MS Visual Studio (do not confuse this with Crestron Studio)
I gotta call bullshit on this.
There are definitely some actual "coding" that needs to take place with Crestron systems. But unless their programming suite has gone downhill drastically over the past 15 years, its still a LOT of "Configuring".
In regards to SIMPL? Depends on the scope. Basic residential system? Sure, who cares, throw some basic stuff together and move on. 7-figure project? Difference story.
We've shifted almost entirely to S#Pro at this point, and rarely touch SIMPL Windows anymore. A lot has changed in 15 years.
