    You might join a meeting of the AWUG (Anonymous With User Group) in your town.

    A simple "uses" is as dangerous as a "with"

    yup, as in if you are using  a variable that you had not declared but is in a unit in your uses :)

    Hi all, my name is Ondrej and I've recently used a nested with statement. :-)

    We can help, Brandon. You just have to take the first step and admit you have a problem.

    Anti-patterns could be so tempting.

    i have a tendency to declare nested functions inside nested procedures inside nested functions... on inherited classes...

    They should have a compiler option: "Allow Withs", and it's unchecked by default.  The problem is if you have a lot of code that has Withs in there.  I've been trying to remove them as I go along.

    Many people tend to look at programming styles and languages like religions: if you belong to one, you cannot belong to others. But this analogy is another fallacy.

    I'm looking for a refactoring tool that will automatically add with statements. You know, just to remove some bytes from my source files.
