Once you start creating them visualy it is hard to go to prgs, so give your friend some time to get hooked... After 10+ years with Fox I have 10 classes in prgs and hundreds in vcxs.
Sometimes I wished all classes are just prgs and presented as vcxs visualy for massive editing changes, but these things don't happen offten, once a year...
HTH,
