Fine, but the product is still not fully finished - it's a work in progress. WinDev (amongst others) is a finished and polished product in all respests from IDE to distribution, for all platforms WIndows to Apple to Linux to Andorid to iOS. It has a long history of development and refinement starting with version 1 20+ years ago and sitting at version 17 now. It has every 3rd party tool I have ever used in VFP built right in (about 30 I can think off easily). One simple price to buy the IDE of choice and royalty free distirbution of the exe and internal database.

>Lianja is built on QT, now owned wholly by Digia, which has a large number of large companies as long-time QT customers. Recital, as JR points out, is not new, quite the contrary. The putting together of these components, in a development platform in which data-handling is the core concept (as it was in FB, FP and VFP) is huge for shops whose business model depends efficient development by domain experts. Both QT and Recital have long and successful histories (and, freed from the shackles Nokia imposed, QT is getting better faster -- with QT5, native Android and native iOS are supported).

>>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.
