I have found that the awards a product wins are meaningless. Like the
Academy awards, you can create so many that almost every product wins one
or another. In talking to real people who build information systems, I
have never heard of anyone who thought Developer/2000 was superior to
Powerbuilder or Delphi. Delphi is a great product; but, there seems to
be some sort of lack of confidence in Borland that prevents the corporate
world from jumping on the bandwagon. As far as Powerbuilder is
concerned, literally thousands of applications have been built and are in
production with success using this tool. With Powerbuilder 5.0,
virtually all of the negative aspects of the tool have been eliminated.
So, today, if I am doing a database intensive application, I lean
towards Powerbuilder. If it is not database intensive, I lean towards
Delphi.
