One of the arguments of RPG-CGI over EGL is that with EGL you have to 
learn another language, while with RPG-CGI you don't.  That point has 
been made by people like Nathan.

With EGL you only have to learn EGL; knowledge of the HTML plumbing is 
not required, unless you want to learn it.  In green screen terms, with 
EGL you only have to learn SDA, while with RPG-CGI you have to learn the 
low-level APIs.
