Yes, absolutely. Much, much, much, much easier, with la****ngs of cleaner, 
lightly saute'd pleasanter, and a tasteful side salad of simpler.

And yet, when people post code that is not in line with your perception of

OOP best practice, you criticise it on that basis. Seriously, Chris, you 
might want to think about this inconsistency.

Man wanna use gets, I tell him bad dog no biscuit. Some things are so 
broken that they are wrong by definition.

But man wanna use strncpy or strtok or using namespace std, I tell him
good
