For Delphi newbies (who are also new to programming in general), is TStringList a suitable class for simple data management?

For Delphi newbies (who are also new to programming in general), is TStringList a suitable class for simple data management?

I mean, it's pretty simple to explain (and understand) how to put a TStringList member in the form's private section, and then put Create + LoadFromFile in OnCreate,  and SaveToFile + Free in OnClose.

After that you can easily play with the Values property to get and set various data.  (The "Name=Value" structure if the file is pretty easy to understand too).



Right now I cannot think of any simpler way to just load and save data directly from an application.  Any other suggestions?
