We have been using Power Objects for a few months now. Its strengths are easy data access, Visual Objects, quite a bit of RI, and cross platform capabilities. It is a lot easier to learn than powerbuilder. It is not targeted at the enterprise level though. It is more for Workgroups with 1-3 developers. There are no physical limitations for deploying on larger systems, but they do not have any team development tools. The report writer is pretty basic. So if you need a tool for an enterprisewide development you are better off with Forms 4.5.
