Not sure where to jump in on this thread so I'll start at the top. First, like Doug Averch, Charlie Noah, Brian Leach, and others here, I actually do have experience with all of the technologies AND applications defined. So once again your commentary has over-reached your limited understanding of the world around you. Heck, if I wanted to close my business and move back to Chicago, I might apply for the position. But I don't. :)
Second, I believe this site is looking for someone with some permutation of the described skills, not all of them. They say RPL/D3 are qualifications but U2, etc are a "plus", meaning if someone has skills with U2 they're probably trainable. You were correct that they meant "either/or" ... and they DID say "a plus" which means it's Not a Requirement. In your eagerness to criticize you missed and/or ignored key words - an oversight which would further disqualify you for the position. Third, RPL is still alive and well, used to run a Lot of large and small shops and for new development. It's only supported now over D3, so again the mention of U2, jBase, Rev, etc is an attempt to find someone who can learn something new. (Rather difficult for some people in this market, easy for others.) Would I start a new project with RPL? No. Do I think it has a long-term future? No. But people have been saying the same thing about Pick in general for a couple decades now. Just remember that the only way some of you could get U2 into a new prospect a few years ago was by slinging around the IBM moniker - now that you don't have that anymore, U2 is as much an anomaly in the mainstream as RPL is among Pick people. Be careful about throwing rocks in this small glass house.
