Overloaded method are not so bad. For one thing, it can lead to more elegant code because you can have different code for a different list of parameters. And thus, you don't have to write lines like this :
FUNCTION Test(Param1, Param2)
DO CASE
CASE PCOUNT() == 1 
   ** do this
CASE PCOUNT() == 2
   ** do that
ENDCASE
with overloaded methods, you can write :
FUNCTION Test(Param1)
  ** do this
ENDFUNC

FUNCTION Test(Param1, Param2)
  ** do that
ENDFUNC
>-command window, run my project part by part without make an .EXE

Yes, that's one of the most productive attribute of VFP.
