>>I am confused why anyone would go to a niche product which is also not 100% ready plus only has a short life history. WinDev is niche compared to .Net but is totally ready (now on version 17), is cross platform (Windows, Linux, Apple, web, mobile), can integrate 3rd party languages including .Net, has 20+ years in development, extensive documentation, used by large corporates and tens of thousands of developers right now. In my line the niche aspect is not a problem but I dont want to be messing around with beta / initial versions and waiting for promises to be fullfilled.

Like I said, I dont mind niche - in my game that is a non-issue. I mind that it's not ready with too many promises of what will be. I like products that are ready and can deliver everything that one requires now. I dont have time to hope that a product will deliver one day. I need it ready now.
