Amen! I've seen a lot of bad PH in my travels.

This may be one of the biggest problems with any 4GL. A good 4GL programmer
can create fully functional programs at something like ten times faster than
a good Cobol/C/whatever programmer. But a poor one can make a mess, also at
ten times the rate :-(

Maybe the rookies should write the new stuff and the experts should do the
maintenance.
