Subject: OT (longish) Tango??
The item (below) was included in a posting to another UG...
...the author is an employee of Pervasive (Developer of Tango)
It's claims caught my attention.
Anyone have any thoughts/experiences with Tango vs CF.

features

>*** Thoughts on Cold Fusion ***

>In CF, there is no action based GUI like Tango's, it has only a page-based
>layout. The CF Editor is just Allaire's HomeSite product with CF tags
>thrown in. Although CF has project wizards, it still takes hours to days
to
>do what Tango's Search Builder can do in four minutes. The graphical
>structure of Tango makes it much easier to use for big projects, and easy
>source control integration and Tango-based objects means that it is easy to
>split a project between many people.
>
>*** Key Tango Features ***
>
>- Intuitive, visual application development environment-the Tango
>Development Studio.
>- 26 built-in actions for implementing business logic.
>- Object extensibility with COM objects and JavaBeans.
>- Tango's own object model-robust reusability with Tango class files.
>- State-of-the-art personalization and content management.
>- Full XML implementation for accurate business-to-business communication.
>- Cross-platform development on Windows or Mac OS.
>- Multi-platform deployment on Windows NT/95/98, Solaris, Linux and
>Macintosh.
>- A robust Application Server that scales to meet increasing demands.
>- Team-based development features, such as source code control mechanisms
>for secure development.
>- Native Oracle support and bundled ODBC drivers for advanced database
>connectivity.
>- Pervasive.SQL 2000 database bundled with Windows, Solaris and Linux
>versions.
>- Online tutorials, demos and sample code to jumpstart development and cut
>the learning curve.
>
>*** Usability Highlights ***
>
>- Able to separate application logic from presentation logic. This makes
it
>MUCH easier to modify someone else's' code.
>- Able to break down presentation code into smaller bite size pieces.
>- Search/Update/Delete Database Actions are very fast to setup and useful
>for integrating data rapidly into web applications.
