I think you misunderstand me. I said "RAD is the best way to code a GUI", the visual part, not the business rules.
For that you just need a visual form designer. RAD normally entails a whole lot else like hooking into events (in the UI), live view of data in form designer (using eg: a TDBGrid) etc.
I don't use db-aware — well only TDBGrid just to show data
And DBGrid behaves slightly different to TStringGrid, and is slow. Many DB-aware components behave slightly different to the non DB-aware versions. Why two sets of basically the same component? Yet another layer of components that can contain bugs. With Model-GUI-Mediator you use the standard components only, and the mediators are literally just a few lines of code. The rest of MGM (at least the implementation in tiOPF) is all non-GUI and well unit tested.
