I prefer it.

Code is easy to read, and the apps I make are small and fast.

I use C++ Builder for GUI stuff. For every form that interacts with the
db, I simply create another unit (so the class for the form is split
into two units) One has all the ide generated code, and functions that
have embedded sql are in a separate file.

eg:

Unit1.cpp / Unit1.h / Unit1.dfm
Unit1_SQL.epp -> Unit1_SQL.cpp


Too easy.
