My problem isn't with Inprise's quality. It's far superior to Microsoft. My problem is with the little things, like having to pay $9 for a small upgrade, one that other companies would provide for free with downloading, $9 for the CD. It's not the price, it's the feeling they need the money, even though it's a small amount. That concerns me. I've used both JBuilder and J++, I much prefer JBuilder, it still has some growing to do. But I just don't see Inprise selling their product to the major companies and I need to use the IDE's that keep me employed. Same thing with their CBuilder product, I can whip out app's about 2-3 times faster in the CBuilder IDE over the VC++ from Microsoft. But the company I work for has bought into the Microsoft crap. It's the Inprise marketing, and lack of market penetration that concerns me. Quality their way above MS.
