Here's the obvious questions for you:

Now that you've used the cycle are you prepared to embrace its power and
simplicity?  Was it a good experience for you? Have you used Level breaks
and Matching records yet?  How many loops and lines of code do you guess it
eliminated for you?

Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
... RPG, as a language, has exactly one thing to recommend it, ...: "The
Cycle." ... 
I've written perhaps two cycle programs that are controlled by a primary
file (BOTH of which I wrote THIS VERY MONTH, the first one ENTIRELY from
scratch, and the second borrowing code only from the first one, but I
have written a whole bunch of interactive cycle programs that couple LR
to KC.
..
 even the most unconventional
use of "The Cycle" SIMPLIFIES the program.
