Re: "with" Coders are Monsters

Why oh why, must Delphi have a with statement?!

How about a compiler warning that says "Note: You
are using boring code that is not remotely challenging
to even a 1st year student."
I'm a proud abuser of WITH, and quite impressed when
I can nest them to at least 3 levels deep. Even I
can't make sense of what I've written after the event,

I think that that may be the reason why some programmers
love to hate "with" statements so much so that they will
avoid fixing the code with automatic "refactoring".
