RAD should only be used for prototyping. ie: once the prototype is done
and not needed, bin the code. And don't be fooled thinking small utility
apps are great for RAD too. Once that utility get traction, feature get
added, the thing grows like wild-fire and you are in a sh*t storm once
again. Even "small" utilities can do with a good design and business
logic separation.
It might sound harsh, but boy will you save yourself from headaches
years down the line when your application has grown to multi-million
lines of code.
