I had an interview recently and I was also suggesting a use of CAs over SPT because they ease all data related operations. However, I was told, that hiding complexity is not always a good thing and with SPT you have a better control of what's going on.

I actually had a very strange interview (by phone). Every statement of mine was questioned and turned to be not entirely correct. One of the other paradoxical questions was to name situations when OOP is not a good thing. This really took me off guard and I could not think of such a situation except for too deep inheritance.

However, on the Russian VFP site I got these two interesting links:
