It usually comes with pre-built classes, forms, etc with a lot of functionality to address issues like security, forms management, data access, etc., which means that in most cases you won't have to reinvent the wheel.

Terry,
That's one point, but, IMO, the development side of the this is overemphasized. Once you have your base "Save" button, if you wanted to do something like change its font, width, height, whatever, you simply changed the parent and all the children change as well.
