Ok, you've caught me. I lay. :) I use TIBDataSet when I have to
show something in grid. I just wanted to discourage its using when
possible, because I saw code like this:

IBDataset.Open;
While not IBDataSet.eof do
IBDataSet.Delete;
IBDataset.Close;

I also saw modal dialogs (with TDBEdits and TDBCheckBoxes) when
IBDataSet.Edit was in OnShow and IBDataSet.Post in OnClose.

Besides, TIBDataSet in IBX doesn't allow use different transaction
for INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE (in contrast to FIB+ ;-)) that could make
situation a bit better by using read only RC transaction for SELECT.
