Most things aren't that bad.  Mocking up files, mocking up command line 
interactions, these are cheap.  GUI's are tough to test.  I think there 
is alot of hope for web libraries though.  On the protocol level, HTTP 
behaves alot like a command-line.  It's a laborious, rather than 
impossible, task to make HTTP easy to test.

Cheers,
