Actually, beautifully structured good c++ code does not use raw pointers, uses typesafe containers such as vector and string for handling memory, and uses proper RAII to manage resources, so it is also immune to all those problems as well. “It’s the beautifully structured, object oriented, ‘good’ C++ code that’s giving us all huge amount of grief due to security problems (buffer overruns, memory leaks, games with pointers, etc.).”

It means I can pop out a nice looking windows app in a day, versus messing about in C++ for a week. Let's face it, with shrinking QA budgets, and rising demands on programmers, the more productive you can be the better. That’s exactly it, RAD is really a wonderful thing.
