>I was avoiding Sedna, Thor, VFPX and what have you - even GoFish - because the early versions had difficult installations, and even when I'd manage to install them, their assumptions on my coding style were wrong and I couldn't really be comfortable using them. Specially GoFish for which I wrongly thought is an outside executable written in something else.

I'm a tool writer myself (internally, though, not much that can be shared, everything is either without proper GUI or too tangled with the framework), so I remembered how some colleagues never touched some tools because the first versions I gave them to try were buggy. So I decided to do the courtesy that I didn't get (until I was the boss :), so I gave it a try. Out of dozens of tools in Thor, I'm using only a few - PEM editor (not too often), GoFish, super browse and a couple of editor shortcuts (declare locals, find locals). And that's more than enough for me - saves me a bunch of time every day.

What I dislike on Thor is the internet connection. And it integrates to deep for my taste.

GoFish I have my problems (we had a thread about it, no need to warm it up)
PEM Editor - a thing I never found a use for
Locals - I have my tolls since the days of yore + intellisense (I believe I have download / FAQ about this here)
Super browse - Thor only, also I have a different style of data creation that will not fit into it. (All on CA that will not run without the App) Also I love to create my SQL on my keyboard.
