Of course. We use tools because they enhance our productivity. How about you taking a stab at duplicating the radio group example by using EGL, so we can compare notes.

Right click on the page to view the complete source. Right click on the images to download them.

Open the source in a WYSIWYG editor. The editor design view ought to give you a good idea of how I initially envisioned the radio group component to look. Toggle over to source view and read from top to bottom to get a good idea of my thought process as I implemented it. If you don't understand something in the page source, I'd be happy to assist. All basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

It would be interesting to compare my development process to one implemented in EGL, and to compare source code as well.

It would disappoint me if the EGL way of doing it was essentially the same as the way I did it, because we've been led to believe that EGL is more productive.

If it would help, I could interface the page with an RPG program that updates a database table according to changes made on the screen when a radio button is clicked, and visa versa. We could compare that too.

This would give us a chance to see if EGL is more productive, with something fairly trivial.
