i wanted to use the omnis tools for our new dev but 2 things shot it down: 1) runtime cost (since repealed but to late for me) 2) apparent lack of independant code jockies (we do a bit of contract work)

for me i needed/wanted (real bad) this one major feature:  online realtime code updates (i could update the omnis client code on the fly. no one else has the ability to do this. _built in_)

really when you get right down to it 95%+ of the products offer the same capabilities. but it's that last 5% that you need to see what matches your individual needs. for me(supporting the states politically mandated budget systems i NEEDED to be able to do code updates like !NOW! 'cause policy changes dictated code changes. we (at times) would change code 2-3 times in a single day (during production) ie the code you saw this am _at_9 may not be the code you see _at_noon. the screens could change the data may no longer be available to you (the end user) all by political whim^H^H^H^H mandate.
