Hi Thierry. I have little doubt about their success and would certainly not challenge their position here in France and their financial situation:)

In terms of image, from an international perspective, Windev remains still an also-ran with little visibility outside Europe. Not the tool of choice for data-based development it could have become. In view of the technical merits and achievements, their strong historical market base in France, they could have possibly achieved more with a stronger and - "less parochial" - marketing strategy. All of this is strictly IMVHO of course.

Good luck for your great endeavours!

François
