We don't lack mature interfaces. We have UO.Net; UOJ; web services - now both XML and JSON; WebDE - not to mention third party alternatives. Without even mentioning OleDb, ODBC, JDBC, ADO.Net .. I've been programming Windows since before Microsoft bought VB, most of my work is in Windows or Web and I earn my crust on both U2 and SQL Server. In my limited time I've used VB, Delphi, C#, PHP, ASP, ASP.NET and even java - urgh - all with U2. With that in mind I have to say that UniObjects is the best API I have ever worked with, bar none. It offers a clean, fast interface that other models just can't compete with and for any business logic the U2 subroutine is king. Give me U2 basic and UO or WebDE over the likes of ADO.NET and SQL any day, however you dress it up. There is no reason other than lack of ambition for U2 applications to look old. The technology is there, and has been there for a decade. Let's stop talking it down.
