[Quoted] What is the downside of using Oracle Forms? Does it not fit into todays MVC/Model View Controller world?
[Quoted] I have been an Oracle Forms user for at least 10 years but today the talk of Forms is near dead. Even Oracle doesn't push it as much as they did in the 90's. In '95 Oracle pushed Dev/2000/CDE like God himself sanctioned it.
[Quoted] Is the concept of a simple forms hitting a database, a dead idea that doesn't fit into todays 'EJB/over-complicate everything needlessly' paradigm?
