The only thing I ever do with the Win32 API by hand is to create a simple 
window for applications that solely use Direct3D, it is just a few lines of 
code and much faster and cleaner than using any IDE.

For a real windows-based application with textfields, buttons etc, you'd be 
mad to try and code it by hand, unless you wanted to generate a load of 
icons/text boxes algorithmically.
