Hi Bruce ----

You see that, too? We have a PB project that was supposed to take 18 months and is now 20 months over in time...the developer is sharp, the needs are documented but PB itself has been the issue.

Interestingly, I've seen the same thing for some large and moderate scale VB projects. And I'd be lying if I hadn't seen some smelly VFP projects too.


>Interesting observation -- about 3 years ago (or so) PB was all the rage at my agency. That was before people actually used the product much, certainly before any large systems were completed using it.

>Since then, systems developed using PB have really struggled to get up and running, and the bright attitude toward it has seriously faltered. VFP, on the other hand, had nowhere to go but up from the sad condition it was in 3 years ago (as far as attitude toward it). Definitely, the trend has reversed for each product here...
