Agreed -- we have D3 users and UniData users and UniVerse users ... I'm not
sure that part of UniData is 'Time Warped' -- we've seen a ton of new
features built in during the last few years, while D3 chugs along, they've
only produced 3rd level point revisions in the last 2 years! Wow. It does
make their maintenance seem high!  I'm getting the same feedback from my
customers.

The only thing D3 has that I miss in UniData is Case Insensitivity
everywhere. Gosh that was nice. Gosh that was a nightmare. Gosh that was
nice. ....

And while UniVerse may be slightly more compatible with D3, UniVerse is
slightly more complex to administrer than UniData in my experience. Not as
much once you know all the edges, but there are more edges in UniVerse for
sure! (No flame wars needed or intended!)

when I spent a few months contracting at a D3 shop - antiquated stuff, how
can anybody work with this when xxx is so much better?

really one of adapting to looking at things from a different perspective.
