We might as well throw in SQL Windows(Centura now), ObjectVision, Visual FoxPro and don't forget tools like Magic, Parts, VisualAge etc etc etc. There are literally dozens of tools out there, any of whom can make any particular claim, however most of the folks in this group prefer and support
PowerBuilder, mostly becuase it's the next best thing to sliced bread. I'm Delphi literate, and even with a VB and PowerBuilder background, I have to admit that Delphi took me easily twice as long to learn (to get to near the same level of knowledge - particularly of OO techniques and their usage). Delphi is very powerful. So is
PowerBuilder. So is VB. But the real difference between them is the people who use them.
