I've pondered this myself, for a long time - since I could use RAD to build very nice applications using Borland's OWL on Windows For Workgroups.... it is sad. But Open Source land is simply too fragmented. There are too many database bindings [and RAD requires something like an ORM (think SQLalchemy)] and far too many GUI toolkits [Qt, Gtk, wx, and the list goes on and on]. Nothing can muster the gravity required to bring a quality RAD tool into existence. I also suspect - seeing some of the articles that float across the FLOSS-o-sphere mentioning "RAD" - that many Open Source developers have never had the pleasure [yes, it is a pleasure] of using a professional RAD tool. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
