And that's what I'm talking about as well, especially with regards to 
Office 2010. (With VS and C# it's a bit blurry, as its users /are/ 
developers after all; still, the users are not the developers of the 
piece of software we're discussing. So when I call it a programmer's 
dream, in this sense it's a user's dream, not a developer's dream.)

Unless I'm utterly misunderstanding what you mean by "interaction design".
