I´d try to convince my customers to let me solve their problems with REALbasic since about 5 years (or longer). One customer finally did and now is happy to have done so. I am happy, too, because we are carrying a project that would have been much more expensive with any other IDE and Language I know. But in Germany, with REALbasic you are kind of a maverick or don´t have the balls to produce substantial code like with java or C++. With REALbasic you are very effective, but a little isolated and at the schoolyard the others point with their fingers on you. Let´s call that relevance. ;-) Jens Hi Paul,

However, the usability of that application probably has nothing to do with 4D itself. @Aaron: Looking forward to your ramblings about 4D then :-)

However, I suspect that as I learn more about 4D, I'll get a new drive. ;-) In terms of whether RB is relevant or not, my answer hasn't changed in seven years: it depends entirely on the person's needs. If RB fits the bill for a particular project, then it's relevant. If it doesn't fit the need, then it's not.

I think more insight on what's going on at RS would be great for the community. That's what I really enjoyed about Aaron's blog. Even if it wasn't an official RS blog, you got some insight on what people were working on and what were the challenges and forces behind some design decisions.
