I agree, but there is also a very good technical reason - when you are
workning with OLE automatisation, you had to "count your dot" very
carefully because there is overhead costs associated with calling another
application - the morale is - do as much as possibly in one application,
perform the call and the do the rest in the other application.
E.g. obj.txtOutputFilePath.Visible has two dot's
A call to a office tool like MS word from Vb has often very many dot's and
it is more effecient to split the applications instead of trying to
control everything from one place.

Vedr.: Re: MI-L programming without MapBasic
I use Mapbasic and Visual Basic/OLE a lot. Most things you can do in MB
can
be done in VB (and therefore Delphi). However, many things are quicker to
do
in MB, so I often end up writing an MB program to do the bulk of the GIS
work and then controlling it from from VB to get the benefits of the
better
Windows interface.
