The big issue with teaching using a RAD tool, is welding the program logic

As you point out in the text this is as well a pro (easy fast solving of
small unitary tasks) as a con (bad reusability, bad code when doing big
projects).
But as Learning of course starts with doing small unitary tasks RAD
obviously is a great help to fight the FUD and prejudice the students
might have regarding programming.
Of course it's great to dedicate a (later) lesson to un-RAD-ing your
code in order to be prepared for bigger tasks.
