Hey Chris, thanks for the response. We've already got enterprise licencing for SharePoint so that isn't a concern :) My issue is more that I think I've reached the limit of what InfoPath can do, so I'm looking around for something with more customizations and "grunt". If NF doesn't have as much logic as InfoPath then it might not be ideal (although the cross-platform views sound awesome)
We currently use NW and love it. I might look at getting a trial of NF and take it for a spin, but it looks like VS.Net forms might be best.

If you have used NW it is a similar interface to that, and integrates seamlessly with their product, it is just as easy to use as NW as well and all through the browser. The things I like: - Browser Based - Different views based on device (iPad, BlackBerry, PC, iPhone, WP7, Android) - Integration with Nintex Live (anonymous forms via Nintex Cloud back in to SharePoint). - Easy to embed images/css/styling The NF don't do much logic in the form i.e. like InfoPath Rules. However it does have managed metadata support We also had trouble creating a workflow start form that had a external item picker, however this worked on the list form, so I think it needed the column behind it to work.

We're currently building ours in InfoPath, but I'm thinking we might need a change in the near future. I know a while ago there was a question about Nintex Forms and if anyone was using them, so I'd like to re-ask that same question. Does anyone use Nintex Forms, and if so, how has your experience been with using them? I guess for us it would be between using Nintex, or switching to fully customized VS.Net based forms, so thought I'd get some opinions.
