We keep seeing these sort of posts. Surely we've been over this stuff often enough not to have to keep repeating it?

From my perspective: I would be interested to hear your impressions of Delphi, Java (nice versions like Supercede, for example, as well as J++), maybe Powerbuilder. All good products. None of which you judge to be the "right" tool, based on what I read here.

Sometimes it seems that some of us only ever consider products that come from Microsoft. May I hasten to add that this is a perfectly valid and defensible stance, because Microsoft produces very strong tools that I use and I would not want to argue against that, but for such a person to then accuse others of having personal bias in choice of tools reminds yours truly of various proverbs about casting the first stone in a glasshouse with a beam in one's eye.

Sorry, couldn't resist. <g>
