A lot of what all you say as to U2 not evolving enough is true, but part
of the reason for that and problems in the D3, U2 or mult-value world in
general is that almost all the current multi-value providers are doing
one or more of these things .:
1) Either living off the bones of their installed base and/or swooping
in to feed off of whoever is still running D3 and its flavors, but doing
nothing to attract new users. IBM falls into the 2nd category.
2) Jbase (& I think Cache) are successful application software companies
that basically created their own version of Multi-value to migrate to
save their investment. I have not looked a Jbase in a while, but Cache
has some nice new features.
Just to niggle (a BIG niggle), what you say of Cache might be true, but
it's NOT true of jBase.
jBase was written - like INFORMATION - to be a "MV done right", for
whatever value the people involved thought was "right".
Cache is the old MUMPS, and actually hired one of the people who wrote
jBase (Jim Idle) to write their MV personality.
Cheers,
