The other big pro of using TIBO Controls is that they are compatible
with the visual components that are shipped with Delphi. One day I
may want to use another database, and I will then have to convert
from TIBO components. But at least I won't have to replace all my
visual controls. So I use TIBO for everything I want to link to
TDatasource, and TIB_ otherwise.

This does not stop me from using the brilliant functionality of
TIB_Dataset. Every TIBOQuery is build around a TIB_ component, and I
can call its methods and use its properties using
MyQuery.InternalDataset.SomeMethod.
