I agree with 1 but 2 is a bit of a stretch. On 2, the reason personally that I got frustrated is because our entire group of apps worked on R1 and no longer works on R2, not without any modifications anyhow. I am also familiar, being with MS tools that some fixes can sometimes crash a system, however.
This is my issue with my company, we have to now, resolve to making changes in our components in order for them to work in RB. Time is money, we have barely enough time to debug our own components and apps, adding to this is fixing the issues created by a third party? I truly love RB and it has been quite the transition from MS tools to RB, atleast for the GUI as we still develop components in MS for RB. Yesterday was a very long day and I emailed my thoughts, I apologize if it insulted some. JC wrote: > Your argument has some bugs in it: > > 1.
