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.
