>Recital, I'm sure, is a stable database and used widely due to it being in a particular market for many, many years. Lianja is new, still in Beta I believe? WinDev has been around as a database AND integrated development environment for 20+ years and is used around the world by tens of thousands of developers.

>I think Lianja might be an option for those developers who want to keep their investment in VFP code. I am not one of them. I am very happy with our VFP applications and what they currently can do. They still look modern and slick and work on all platforms that our business targets (32/64 bit Windows). But for moving into the future we want to jump onto a proven (i.e. long track record) IDE platform which allows projects to be developed 3 to 5 times faster than what we have historically done in VFP, multi-platform, not MS dependent (Linux, iOS, Windows), rich and complete toolset, rich interface control set, powerful integrated database plus 3rd party database access, extensive help documentation and a decent developer eco-system. The WinDev suite of tools fits that bill for us. Each to their own.
Ditto for everything except being in release. And since the foundation of the UI in Lianja is QT, which also has been around for a while (and in fact is the the most-used cross-platform UI for enterprise apps, according to Digia), then there is some parity there.
a chacon gout, to be sure.
