IMHO the contrary is true.
Using Delphi (or Lazarus) you can concentrate on the problem solving , while doing status outputs and only-for-testing inputs is nearly for free.
You can argue that this (RAD) leads to being trained to do bad software, as for a _final_product_ it is much better to separate GUI oriented units from "Business logic" units (as this allows for better portability and easier maintenance).
But this is a completely different argument. -Michael -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
