Various descriptions of non-leptonic charm decays are reviewed and their relative strengths and weaknesses are listed. I conclude that it is mainly (though no necessarily solely) a destructive interference in nonleptonic D{sup +} decays that shapes the decays of charm mesons. Some more subtle features in these decays are discussed in a preview of future research before I address the presently confused situation in D{sub s} decays. Finally I give a brief theoretical discussion of inclusive and exclusive non-leptonic decays of beauty mesons.
