We're being slightly off-topic here, but anyway, here's my two cents: It really depends on who's going to use it. You can have the fanciest code generation tools money can buy, but if your programmers and designers don't know how to use it effectively, then it might even be less efficient than coding by hand. You can try training one person first and see if he/she is significantly more efficient using these tools than coding the old way. If you think that the benefits you gained from the tool justify its cost, then go ahead. Don't be dazzled by whizbang presentations; too often, expensive software collects dust. -- Sacha Chua <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Ateneo CS faculty geekette interests: emacs, gnu/linux, wearables, teaching compsci http://sacha.free.net.ph/ -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
