I hope I'm not making myself look even more stupid than I already do, but 
what is 'Extreme Programming'?

So you mean you're criticizing Extreme Programming just because it has its 
zealots?

It's a real pity, because teams doing XP with RPG could be a good way to 
show how modern this language can be.

Actually, even EJB has its uses.  If you define the requirements
carefully enough, there are situations where EJB makes sense.  But
they're rare, just as they are with extreme programming.

99% of the time, my problem is not with the technique or technology
itself (although SOAP comes pretty close).  Instead, it's with the
zealots who try to shoehorn it in where it doesn't belong, and who have
to badmouth perfectly good tools to do so.  This includes, for example,
those who insist you rewrite your business logic in Java, or those who
say that SQL should be used for all database I/O.  The XP zealots are
the same sort, shouting down anybody who might disagree.
