There are times when using a cursor is better, and times when using an array is better. You should not reject arrays just because somebody used them incorrectly.
In the system you mentioned, most public arrays and public variables can probably be replaced with private or local arrays or variables. The few that remain can be converted to properties of one, or a few, objects.
