The ability to pass into the engine a report, a data set and some params.
The report knows what to do with it and poof you see it on the screen.
You can open and close group-bys with a click of a mouse.
You can see the group-bys in a treeview letting you know wheer in the heck
you want to go to in your report.
This is what is lacking in the VFP report writer from my POV.
