		<description><![CDATA[Those of you who follow the midrange.com lists probably are aware that I'm not a big fan of application code generators.

This includes (but is not limited to) ...

    * Case Tools (AS/SET, Synon, etc)
    * EGL
    * SQL Pre-processors (RPG SQL, COBOL SQL, etc)
    * JSP (to a limited extent)
    * Various 3rd party application generators

The reason is simple ... the code you write is not the code that executes.]]></description>
