True, many ascii files are the easy way to maintain and test an app. I prefer it for the working environment too, unless there are issues like you describe.
But, with my RCLass tool you can have the best of both worlds. You can maintain and test the code base totally in individual ASCII files. But when you want to distribute the app, you can quickly create a small number (often one) of apx files which you send to the client.
