We've found PB to be a good tool for developing enterprise wide applications. PB integrates quite easily with most enterprise database servers, and has a good object model for object-oriented design and to promote reuse.

If you are looking for a heavy duty tool for database intensive business applications, PB does that very well. If you are looking to develop small, tight, non-database apps, PB is not a good fit.
