Great minds think alike! < bg >...

For me, the fact that Remote Views can't make use of stored procedures is a show stopper right there. Secondary reasons include violation of program/data independence and lack of support for component-based development.

Remote views were an intriguing, yet incomplete concept. Folks that need to write C/S apps must be keen on SPT and ADO. Remote Views buffer complexity at the expense of the developer and the application.

Remote views dumb-down the process of development when "dumbness" needs to be at an absolute minumum.
