Yes that is what I feel in general about the RB environment.

Yes it have, many times it is RS that set the price tag for your products, you can't offer a 500 dollars EditField to students and newbies, and you need more than 20-30 professional in the user group to sell what you need/wanted to sell. How much you sell is depending on RS and the quality of REALbasic. That is real simple, if more professionals is using RB then you also sell more and to the price you wanted. > Obviously you are on the NUG and using > RB for a reason which we all can appreciate. Yes, I am still here, and I am also a very active on BETA list, and have written a lot of bug-reports. And the only reason is, that I am stupid and still hope that REALbasic could be that RAD tool so many talk about. For a year ago I said something similar, then RS announce UB and Cocoa 2006. So then I also give it a new try, joined the beta list and working many hours to write reports. BUT where is the Cococa?? This year, I have only seen it would be worse and worse, not better and better. REALbasic 2007R2 is an example. And I am still using RB and also doing in the future, using the latest version of RB, but just to have my RB developed project up to date. NOT write any new Projects. > I agree that RS needs > to squash these legacy bugs and if you look at their release > notes, it shows that is what they are doing.

So just hold on. > I am already impressed with YOUR results. Now I don't remember you license agreements, but I think $450 is just peanuts, IF REALbasic could be a solid tool. Today my feeling is that there is no control that not have any issues, also a simple "Message box" (a small window with one button)..
