Yes, it is a vastly improved beast over earlier versions. Like others, I not a fan of the timeout of the UniObject session. BDT has features the competition has yet to add. I especially like being able to expand the inserts and see the BASIC Labels easily accessible. I still haven't been to get to SSH to our hosts, but I have never had the time to dig in the whys, etc.
It is still worthwhile looking at U2Logic XLR8Editor and Brian Leach's freeware Windows thick-client MVDeveloper. I don't use any of these tools myself (occasionally fire up BDT)... but have trialled an early version of XLR8Editor...and trialled MVDeveloper. www.u2logic.com/tools.html (the links to download the documentation seem to have gone AWOL) http://www.brianleach.co.uk/pages/mvdeveloper.htm Each has unique features which means you choose the one the suits your needs. Or use all of them! I'm not a big fan of Eclipsed based products. I loathe the wealth of non-functional menus, menu-items that they all seem to have. Its weird shoving your specific tool into some else's generic tool framework. In general dedicated software tool vendors tend to much more responsive to feedback and bug fixes, etc. They have a short lead time / development cycle so are able to be more 'agile'. For us 'dabblers', this isn't such a big thing. -----Original Message----- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Daniel McGrath Sent: Thursday, 25 October 2012 9:17 AM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] [BDT] A giant leap forward Thank you, it's always great to hear when we've hit the mark.
