Well said. It's still about how you architect the app whether in RPG or anything else.

That would be a simple get data display data type thing. I would say the same thing though. I could write a simple ASP.NET app quicker than I could in RPG any day and I have 10 years of RPG under my belt and 4 years of a project here and there in ASP.NET.
I think I can say that because of Visual Studio and how MS has setup the ASP.NET tools. I can create a source file, drop a couple controls onto the page, pass in a table, and format the logic in quick fashion. This is the blessing (and curse) of ASP.NET. So on one hand you can do a real quick CRUD app in a very short period of time. However, a better designed app does take more time and more care than that.
